sick selenocosmia borneo, is this a new sp?

 

[TiberiuSahly]

Love that gigas! Can't wait for mine to get that big! Nice photos!

 

[Apophis]

Thanks guys!

Sean, a bunch of these were imported into Europe (maybe the States too, I don't know) about 2 years ago I guess. At first they were sold as Orphnaecus sp. Borneo, but they turned out to be a Selenocosmia species. That's all the info I have unfortunately.
She decided to make an eggsec when I just got her, but unfortunately she ate it after 3 weeks...

TiberiuSahly, she (hopefully!) isn't even that big, I guess about 6cm legspan. In the right light you can actually see some remains of the spiderling pattern on her abdomen.

Dont know anything about snakes, but this one looks very good!
You have a talent for photography! very nice pictures!:clap:

How many spiders do you have ?

 

[fartkowski]

Wow
Very nice Sietse

 

[Apophis]

Thanks alot guys!

"Diablo1984", I kinda lost count, but I'm guessing about 80-85 spiders. Mostly tarantulas, but also some widows, true spiders and other mygalomorphs.

[Apophis]

Thanks alot guys!!

Draiman, it's kinda hard for me to explain (as you may have read earlier in this thread ) so I made a pic of my setup:


Basically it's just a white "box", and a white piece of cardboard in front of my flash. :razz:
The cardboard bounces the light toward the top and sides of the box, which then reflect it to the subject.

Nice! I'm looking for a softbox like that myself. The lighting in my pictures is crappy.
