Julia's picture thread

[Julia]

Finally.... time for one of these. I'm getting fairly proud of my pictures. The new camera has some great macro (and super-macro) features. Bear with me as I learn them!

Bubbles, the H. lividum....6 months ago, then today.

Diva, A. hentzi, around Christmas, then a week ago.

Stripeybutt, the unidentified Haplopelma sp.

I have 7 others....but the pics aren't worth posting. More soon!

Looks like an aphonapelma to me also.

Well, I got her from craigslist....from someone who got her at a pet store, labeled as a G. rosea. She's pre-molt in the second picture. (Waiting ANY DAY for her to molt, in fact.) I don't have any better pictures of her, so I'll wait until she molts. Wouldn't surprise me if she's an Aphonopelma sp.....as I live in Oklahoma. (Though, she's much more colorful than the typical "Oklahoma Brown" tarantulas I see running around here.)

Haplopelma huwenum possibly (on the unidentified species)?????

The only pics of those that I brought up didn't even come close to what she looks like. Show me one like what you're thinking?? My girl is almost all jet-black except for the gold abdomen markings, and gold bands on the legs.

 

[Draiman]

It's Ornithoctonus aureotibialis, IMO.

g. rosea looks like an A. hentzi to me.

Ahhh... I see it now. I will be rehousing her this weekend, so I'll work on the better picture. On a side note, I've decided to rename her Lucy (the female nickname of Lucifer) after some events of last night. Gotta be on my toes around this one!

 

[Julia]

Lucy, Haplopelma sp. ?? (finally got a good full-body picture)

Diva, A. hentzi (?) less than 48 hours post-molt

 

[Oasis Inverts]

Nice pic's.............

 

[Julia]

A couple more that I'm proud of.


One of my versi's drinking from a huge water drop.

The 'pede, chomping on a cricket.

Close-up of the 'pede.

lucy looks really good, vonwirthi would be my guess from the pix.

It's Ornithoctonus aureotibialis, IMO.

no way!!!!!

 

[Julia]

lucy looks really good, vonwirthi would be my guess from the pix.

That's what I'm thinking. "Vonwirthi" or "Vietnam"... I rarely see her. She's been busy building....something lately. Kinda looks like a volcano rising from the corner of the tank. Silly pethole. WAIT! I have another picture of her.... Wait for it.... This one is good....

 

[seanbond]

yeah thats what they do.
its kewl when you have a hole to talk too all the time, haha.

 

[Julia]

I have NO idea why Lucy was on the screen that night. She scared the pee outta me though! I was half asleep, just doing a routine check of the spiders, certainly not expecting to see this.....

Now a few more pics from today. My kiddo and his friend wanted to hold the millipede! These are very cute pictures.

Kiddo's friend.
