GQ's Photo Thread

[GQ.]

I was doing some Photobucket maintenance today and broke several direct links. I figured I might as well post some of those photos in one thread. Enjoy!

Thank you very much everyone. I have to say the P. irminia will always have a home with me. They are a personal favorite of mine.

Did you mate the C. cyaneopubescens?

Becca,

I just received both of them on Monday. I introduced the male to her on Thursday and she attempted to perform great bodily harm on him. I have him shark tanked in her container right now. I am going to give him another shot this evening. She has been feasting on B. dubia insatiably the last couple days. I'm hoping that will keep her from making him into dinner. I will be sure to put up a giddy post if I catch some insertions. Wish me luck!

Great pics and beautiful subjects, Gil. I gotta hand it to you though, you have some of the coolest backgrounds in those pics. You must have some serious patience and long-lasting batteries in your camera to get those shots set up!

Take care bro!

Thanks G! I appreciate the kind words. I always keep an eye out for something that I think will make a nice backdrop. I immediately check all the animals when I see an interesting flower budding or when I spot a nice plant. When luck is on my side the tarantulas will be freshly molted, the lighting just right, and the planets in proper alignment for a decent photo. For some reason, the more photos I take the more I want a new camera. A nice tripod or a steadier hand would be nice too.

Later,
G

A few more photos...

Cyriocosmus elegans
This little guy packed on some size quickly. He now looks more like a tarantula and less like a grain of sand.

Psalmopoeus irminia - aka: Sling Blade

Poecilotheria subfusca

Sericopelma rubronitens

As always, very nice, GQ! I always love the diverse backgrounds of your photos.

The S. rubronitens is especially nice! :clap:
