Snap shots...

... of some of my T's:

Acantogonathus francki (actually she's not a T but a beauty anyway)

Aphonopelma moderatum

Brachypelma boehmei

Cyclosternum fasciatum

Grammostola rosea

Theraphosa blondi

Pterinochilus murinus rcf

When making the pic of the P. murinus I had sort of an accident:
After I opened the lid of the box she's living in the T escaped and ran onto my palms. When I decided to simply take the picture with the T sitting in my hand she became active again, ran up my arm and into the sleeve of my T-shirt. She finally settled in my right arm pit. ;P
It was quite a struggle to get out of my shirt without jamming the T...

Nice shots! Love your T's! I too have a Boehmi & Blondi. BTW! Your lucky you did'nt get bit by your P.Murinus! My Mate was doing something in her tank and she grabbed his hand and bit him 3 times! He was rushed to hospital and was very ill for a few days. Really made him crap himself.

Just be careful with her o.k mate!.

Do you know what is has or lacks not to be in the family Theraphosidae? :?

Nice pics mate, really good clarity. What camera do you use? The A. francki is gorgeous, she looks gold and super shiny.

I'm not too much into the systematics of spiders but I was told that the scopula are missing.
According to Platnick A. francki belongs to the family of the Nemesidae.

Actually it's an older model, a Canon Powershot A60.

Nice. What kind of lighting is used? If I had to guess I'd say you used a flash for the A. francki and maybe the T. blondi, but not the others. The lighting in the G. rosea pic is especially nice. I'm trying to work out how best to light T's for photos cos I find they come out with too much glare with the flash.

wow, that A. francki is awesome.

You're right, for the A. francki I used a flash.
For the A. moderatum and the P. murinus I used halogen spots as lighting (I've got a cocktail bar at home with a couple of halogen spots lighting it. I just put the cages on top of my bar).
The other pics were taken with the normal lighting of the cages (I use low power halogen spots to light the T cages to keep my the plants inside alive) and an additional high power halogen flood.
