Species Poecilotheria regalis

[robc]

My female P.regalis molted a few days ago...she's about 6" now. Her boyfriend had his mature molt a month ago so a new breeding project will be under way soon!

Nice looking T Rob :razz:

Great to see you here Jon!!

I wanted a bigger focus and a fast shutter speed....I shoot in manula most of the time...I haven't learned this camera all the way yet so any tips would be greatly appreciated!

There are not many reasons to use an ISO of 400. Controlled indoor photography is certainly not one of them imo.
Cruise photos you think are good. Check out the image exif data, you will find most of photos are similar in settings. Something along the lines of 160-200 shutter, 8-16 f stop, and 200 iso.

Thanks ryan!!! When the iso is to high does it give off noise/vibration....when I use a tripod I use 10o shutter speed.

The iso does not vibrate anything, and I am not sure what you mean by "give off noise".

I free hand shutter speeds of 100 quite a bit and everything is fine. 80 and below I search for my tripod. 60 I have to use one no matter what.

100-80 freehand??? You have a very steady hand my friend :clap: The noise/vibration I was told is put out by a fst shutter speed....a Canon rep told me that?

A high ISO speed gives you more "noise" - also known as graininess - I think that's what Rob meant.

Compare a photo taken at ISO 200 with one taken at ISO 3200.

Hey rob you should keep your iso at 200for the most part. And for the f stop 14 and lower seem to be the best.

That is what I thought he meant, but with him you never know. It does not cause vibration though, which is why I asked what he meant by noise.

Not always lol. That gecko picture you asked about was not under 14.

Robc inspired me to post a few pics of a set up I made a while ago for a 5" P. regalis

I hollowed out this wood all the way to the bottom with a long 2" bit. Two entrances branch off at the top. The bottom opens up to a bigger space.

Here you can see the lid. I keep it in place by simply drilling two holes (indents) on either side of the tank and inserting the dowel in front of the plexy. One on top, one on bottom.

Here is the main entrance. She's deep inside! (Right now she's reading in the living room! lol)

Another view.

Every night she comes out and hunts beside the main entrance.
Hope you liked it!

Here's a side view that I forgot to include. I drew an approximate living space. I think it's actually wider inside down the "chimney". The hollowed area goes below the substrate over to the bottom of the smaller branch.

The main entrance is the one to the right. The taller one is narrower.

vury nice!
i was thinking of doing something similar.

 

[pandinus]

very cool, but you might run into problems using wood for the frame work, as it could possibly mold due to moisture, or warp to the point where you may not be able to open the lid properly

So far so good. I made this set up about 2 months ago with no mold. The wood is around the ventilation, so maybe that's why. Thanks!

 

[Endagr8]

Sweet setup. :clap:

Some epiphytes would be cool.

 

[Dahaka]

I don't know jet does male or female I think male...







I have two more P.Regalis tarantulas...

 

[Redneck]

The only decent picture here I would say is the first one in the second row... With that one I would guess male... But its just a guess..

 

[Dahaka]

I use this bottle in middle for them http://www.zavodbig.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/steklenice_11.jpg

In next days i make some terrarium for them all.

You have a male.

 

[Edd Eskimo]
