Some of my collection

[Big and Hairy]

Ok guys, I've finally got some pics posted of a few of my critters. The picture of my G. Rosea isn't that great, but it's only my second time to use a digital camera. Hope to have some more of my collection posted soon. From first to last:

Jasmin - 5" female B. Smithi
Rosie - 4.5" female G. Rosea
Kira - 6" female A. Genic

Enjoy!

Thanks. I can't wait till I can post a pic of my L. Parahybana. Right now she is in pre-molt and hidden in her hide. As soon as she's done, I'll post a pic of her, along with the rest of my collection.

Nice genic! Aren't they just awesome!

Yes they are, In addition to the big female I have 2 small slings and had mature male out on breeding lone, he mated with one female then got smoked by the second, so hopefully I will have a bunch of em if all goes well, one of my favourite spiders..

I can't wait until my A. geniculata is that big!

The B. smithi is gorgeous, Eric! Congrats!

What kind of camera are you using?

 

[Big and Hairy]

Thanks Becca. I actually used my mom's camera cuz I still haven't acquired one of my own. It is an Olympus Camedia with 3.2 megapixel. The first and last pic actually turned out pretty good to my amazement.

[cloud711]

great t's especially the b smithi and a genic. i really like the quality of your pics. btw whats the common name of a genic? :?

 

[shogun804]

the most common ive heard is giant striped knee , cat eating tarantula , steel armed Tarantula and many more

 

[Big and Hairy]

The most common "common" name I have heard is giant white knee.

 

[shogun804]

oh yeah giant white knee i thought mine sounded wierd, i kept saying to myself giant white knee or giant striped knee :wall:

 

[Thoth]

Is it me or is the G.rosea black. Maybe it just the picture or my monitor?

 

[Big and Hairy]

As you mentioned, Giant Striped Knee is a pretty common name as well, along with Brazilian Black and White.

 

[Big and Hairy]

No, it's actually the normal brownish color. I didn't have enough light when I took that picture, or I didn't adjust the camera the right way. She's munching on some crickets in that pic.
