:clap: good for you! what a great freebie. awesome pics too! thanks for sharing. Thats pretty impressive that your male is still going minus a leg and plus an abdominal injury. what a trooper! hopefully the slings are good survivors too

i always use my desk lamp and it works ok most of my pics are like this

 

[P. Novak]

Do you put it above the photo your taking, or just turn it on so it brightens up the room, I am also talking about the blurryness. When I take em, it is a little blury. I think I just need a new camera.

put the lamp above the pic im about to take and probably a better camera as well would help, i need a new one too

 

[P. Novak]

Do you flash in any of your pics, your pics come out very good though!

13.5cm Brachypelma smithi 0.1 - rehoused

Some Matings:
2006 Brachypelma smithi mating
Camera died so couldn't get any more pics after the introduction, but they did mate. Sadly the male recently died, RIP. So my fingers are crossed.

2007 Brachypelma emilia mating
These two were all over the cage, another mating attempt will be done after a sperm web is made.

2007 Brachypelma mating two - I witnessed several good insertions.

 

[Natemass]

[P. Novak]

Thanks nate, I have my fingers crossed! Ive wanted to breed this species everysince I first layed my eyes on the species.

nice enclosure and mating pair good luck on that

 

[P. Novak]

No new pictures, just letting everyone know that my Brachypelma emilia pair have mated for the third time, this one was by far the most successful. I have pics, but there are already two sets of mating pics of this spieces so I'll hold back from posting a third.

Hey,

Nice pictures! It's good to see that the pairings are going so well. Let's just hope she drops a nice sac for us .

[P. Novak]

Haha I sure hope so, I think Ill try to mate her with him about 2 more times and then lay off and wait. After he makes another sperm web of course.

That's how I take all my pics. A desk lamp with the flash off. I do manouver the light for the best angle and colors. It makes the pics turn out pretty good.

 

[P. Novak]

I tried that but my bulb to my light is more yellow then a white, so I just sat the tank on my arm rest and using the natural light from that, with my light lighting up my room. I'll post some pics soon, probably some time tomorrow, the only problem I'm having now is that all my pics come out blurry. I looked for a "macro mode" but I just couldnt find anything, so looks like Ill need to invest for a new camera sometime soon.

Took these pictures tonight...she cohabited with my male from 9/27/06-11/27/06. Ive kept her in a cooling period from the beginning of december to like 1/20/07 or something like that, but now Ive raised her temps and I hope shes gravid cause she refuses to mate with my male at all. What do you all think?

Avicularia avicularia 0.1
