Scorpiove's picture thread!

[Scorpiove]

Just want to have some fun showing off some of my children . These first three pics are of my C. crawshayi. It isn't been sexed and doesn't have a name yet.

T looks nice how big is it?

 

[Scorpiove]

Thanks, maybe about 2 1/2". maybe a tad bigger. I'll be getting more pictures of my other children later.

Very nice looking T.


:clap:

 

[Scorpiove]

Thanks common_spider , I love my camera but I wish I knew how to take good pics with it. I noticed if I want to get a good pic I have to make sure its real bright. Does anyone know if shutter speed has anything to do with? If I try to use flash it washes everything out. Would shutter speed affect that? Well anyways here is my adult female P. murinus "obt". Her name is Ganondorf .

My pride and joy

Here is my favorite one. Yes she is my Rose Hair, her name is Hagrid. I love this one to death. I love them all but this is my pride and joy ! Just noticed my camera detects when I'm holding it sideways and automatically flips the pic for me! thats exactly what happened to the first pic. Hopefully I can get better at taking pics.

Edit: If you are wonding about the weird dots on the carapace its where ants got her . I came home from work one day and found that my A. avic was dead and was covered in ants. I guess the ants didn't take long to smell her and invaded its tank. Well my A. avics tank was one shelf above Hagrid's and they decided to invade her tank for the heck of it I guess. Luckily Hagrid was standing on her tippy toes and she didn't seem to get hurt to badly. But there were these weird mini blotches on the carapace. Guess she got bit. Its been a long while since then and she is doing great. Infact she should molt with in the next few months.

my pride and joy is my Rose Hair too. she is still samall but yours is very beautiful. Your C. crawshayi is really nice too.

 

[jwasted]

They are all really nice looking Nice group of T's you have there.

 

[Scorpiove]

Thanks everyone . The next three are for my female (adult?) B. smithi. I named her Osiris after the egyptian god of the same name.

Very nice spiders. The only thing wrong may be the C. crawshayi's ability to burrow in that substrate. I could be wrong, but thats just IME. Keep up the addiction

Thanks . Yeah I was wondering the same thing. I made a burrow which it used for awhile but didn't extend so that was weird but now I added more substrate its a little different. Its just about the same though. I made a gaping hole in the middle of the substrate, hopefully it notices and uses it. Maybe I should go with some other type of substrate? Would vermiculite do well? Or what about peatmoss. I have never used these and I often wonder.

Here is my other rose hair. This is the one that tagged my mom . Both made it out fine though . This one I actually don't know the sex of, I have tried scanning the bottom and its to dark to see also taking a good pic of the under side proved to be hard. This one's name is Ocelot inspired by revolver ocelot from the metal gear solid games. This one isn't as big as Hagrid either.

Very Nice collection

Very nice collection you have there Scorpiove. I absolutely love that C. crawshayi, :drool: I've never seen one before (but I'm relatively new to the hobby - only 2 yrs with the last year being the most involved - it started as my fiance's hobby and I grew into it lol). I really love the colour of that one and it just got added to my "wish list" lol .

Your B. smithi is beautiful too, my fiance has one that just molted and it has about a 3" leg span right now - it molted out into grey and peach - I kinda wish it would stay those colours lol, but that was most likely just hours after molting as the fangs were still white. My fiance is dying for it to grow so it looks like urs. Keep up the additions to ur pic thread, I look forward to seeing more.

Take care,

Hey thanks everyone, all I have to take pictures of now are slings, I hope they start growing I wanna get some good pics of them . As for my mom getting bit she was sitting on the couch and my rose hair's tank was having trouble drying out and had some fuzzy mold. Or something like that hmm I have another thread on here with a better description but yeah I had her hold it while I was cleaning hte tank and I heard a scream. Apparently there was a vibration from the movie they were watching or something (surround sound). Thats all I could think of at the time.

Oh and don't worry BedroomEyzOfBlu your fiance won't have to wait long to have a B. smithi the size of mine. I had mine since it was a sling and didn't take long for it to get big at all. More pics soon!

 

[Scorpiove]

Finally got pics of my slings.

keep in mind that its hard to get pics of slings and not every photo looks good but some do look good I think. First off lets start with two pics of my A. versicolor

The next two are of my A. geniculata.

Unfortunately I couldn't get any real good pics of my B. albopilosum, so I only included one pic.

The next two are of my B. ruhnaui.

The next pic is of my C. bechuanicus.

The next three are of my C. brachycephalus.

The next 3 are of my C. marshalli.

The next one is a G. aureostriata I got from a local pet store.

The next two pics are of a G. aureostriata I got online.

The next to are of my L. parahybana.

The next two are of my N. chromatus.

This next one is of my N. coloratovillosus. I named this one Tchaikovsky.

The next 3 are of one my P. chordatus (mustard color form) slings. I named it Donkey kong .

The next two are of my other P. chordatus sling, I believe this one is also a mustard color form. I'm not sure though. This one I named Snape.

The next two are of my P. lugardi.

The next three are of my P. murinus (usambara).

I thought this one was funny it was having trouble running through my forest of hairs.

Next two are of my P. pulcher

Next pic is of one of two of my T. blondi slings.

The last two pics are of my other T. blondi sling which is a little bigger than the other.

Thanks for looking

nice pictures. did some of those run onto your hand? or did you pick them all up? my murinus' look to be a similar size and freak out and hide when i touch the lid almost every time...and if touching the lid doesn't get them, starting to open it does.

wheres the pokie sling?

 

[Lorgakor]

And that's why I prefer to buy all my tarantulas as slings. They are just so darned cute!
Great pictures, thanks for sharing those.:clap:

Most of them I let run onto my hand after a gentle nudge. I couldn't get good shots of them in their containers, so I used my hand as a prob, but it did kind of back fire in terms of odd lighting for some of the pics.. I took a picture of my B. emilia sling but it was through the container and in the burrow. Not really interesting, so I didn't post it. I will get it when its out and about though. As for the P. murinus this one does not freak out at all. It does like to leave its container though when I open it .

I've got used to letting it run onto my hand when it escapes so I figured I would do it for a picture. He was calm the whole time he was on my hand. Roaming it like a terrestrial would. Then he got to my forest of hair and tried to run a bit. The other baboons are also push overs I'm just chalking it up to the fact that they are slings. We will see how their attitude changes after they grow. Oh and I didn't even bother taking a pic of the H. lividum he was happily burrowed.

I Don't have a pokie yet. Gotta wait till payday (tommorow) before I can order it .

And that's why I prefer to buy all my tarantulas as slings. They are just so darned cute!
Great pictures, thanks for sharing those.:clap:

I agree I prefer slings aswell its just much funner to raise them all. I mean sure you could be given a 9" T. blondi but how long will it live in your care, etc. Raising them from sling to adult gives you the round trip of their lives. Not that I wouldn't mind receiving a 9" T. blondi though .

Thanks for the compliments everyone
