When holes attack.. 
Ow my eyes (Home made flash diffuser worked a treat on this shot)
Scott: fantastic pics, they look truly alien at that point in a molt
Freddie: You realise he was thinking about running up the lens and biting your nose when he finishes that snack
Laura: That picture is a classic

One of him in normal mode a.k.a. O.J.
And one of him in upset mode a.k.a. The Juice.
You decide which is which.

I just got a P. Murinus as an early x-mas present yesterday! I'll post pics of this lil guy soon. Do they burrow or are the out and active alot? These things are mean too! I think they're more aggressive than my blondi, and lividum, but I never see my lividum so... it took down a full grown crick and its only about 2" leg span... phew...

Freshly Molted P. Murinus
All 3 of my P. murinus slings have molted within the last week. I've been trying and trying to get some good pictures of them, but they are impossible! They keep running back into their web burrows as soon as even begin to touch their enclosure!
However, tonight I was finally able to get a couple of decent shots. WOW! They grow so much with a molt! Two of mine went from about .5" to about 1" and one went from 1" to a little over 1.5"! It looks huge!

Thank you very much.
I'm shooting with Canon G3. It's quite handy.
Oak leaves are great. They look neat and won't absorb humidity even if left in the water dish (as this fellow sometimes does)

Nice ^_^. I think I may invest in a new digi-cam soon after the Christmas season is over... mine has great zoom capabilities but the resolution of the images, overall, leaves a lot to be desired.

Its all about the resolution
If you are going to invest in a new digital camera of any type get the highest resolution you can afford. Another thing to look for is zoom capabilities. There are two types...digital and optical. Optical is with a lens (such as with an SLR with zoom lens. Digital zoom is done within the camera and you will loose some resolution. The picture may go out of focus if you crop it or blow it up.
I'm using a Canon Digital Rebel SLR with a 17-55 zoom lens.

Here is the new home for mine. It is one of the smaller kritter keepers but after just a week you can see all the web it has decorated with.

Does anyone have close up pics of P.murinus in a defensive position? Preferably at ground level. I'd really like one. I'd take one myself but my cam took a poot on me the other day and my backup cam doesn't do close ups all that well. The reason I would like a picture like that is because my christmas present to myself is going to be a tattoo of P.murinus getting ready to say hi errrr I mean bite. That is how they say hi right. Well anyway just wondering.

P. murinus molting pictures
This was the first molt I've ever had the chance to actually sit and watch from beginning to end. I've seen bits and peices before, but not this!
Of course, the entire time I was worried that something was going to go wrong. Everything went fine, though, and the new Kepler (at least for this month) looks great!
