Trenor's Photo Thread

[louise f]

Thanks to @cold blood for the awesome deal on the new tarantulas. They came in today and have already started settling and most have eaten.

Here is a 0.1 A. ezendami

Here is 1 of 4 G. pulchripes

Oh and here is my meager tarantula table

It looks really nice your setups And beautiful spiders from our very own Dennis <3

I was doing some feeding today and got two good shots of my B.vagans while it was eating on a roach. You may think that roach is a bit large but it pounced on it without slowing.

It's starting to show it's adult colors some.

Here is a closer shot, just look at the red hairs on it's abdomen. I can't wait for more color to show.

One of the I.mira had it's feet out and the other was mostly out today when I got home. I got some photos and then fed them both.

The M.balfouri slings are growing quickly.

Nice shots! I haven't seen my two for 3 weeks, anxiously waiting for them to toss out an old dress.

Thanks, most of the time I don't seem them much just some feet sticking out when they are hungry. Sometimes though I get to see them longer. I posted a short video of one of my I.mira feeding. It was the longest I had seen one of them since housing them after they arrived.

Waiting on a molt is one of the hard parts. My smallest C.cyaneopubescens disappeared for almost a month. It was worth it though, it put on a good amount of growth. Good luck of your Ts new clothes.

Well, I rehoused my C.cyaneopubescens male today. I had him in a very large acrylic enclosure he only used 1/3 of. I moved him into an enclosure 1/2 the size with a lot of leaf anchor points for webbing and a good size hide. While he was exploring after the move I snapped a few shots of him.

This one was with my Canon DSLR.

This next one was a few hours later with my phone camera. Notice how the high flash makes his carapace look a greenish gold.

My H.pulchripes are getting bigger. I've been pleased at how well they are doing.

I found it interesting that two of the three preferred making their home in the long moss instead of the burrow with leaf cover. Even the one who chose the leaf burrow looks to have drug some moss to the opening.

Awesome pics! I seriously need to stop using my phone for pics after looking at these.

Thanks man, TBH over half of the photos on this thread was using the camera my Samsung phone. I do like the ones I take with my Canon a lot but normally I have my phone on me. So can grab the odd shot without having to "run for the camera". The big downside to taking photos with the phone is I've always needed to use the flash in order to get anything to come out decent. No matter how much light the room has. Often I can get the same shot with the canon without a flash.

Maybe keep a small flashlight nearby and shine it near them to increase the lighting a bit. My flash on my iPhone always changes their look entirely so I usually try it that way. Worth a try, grab a 99¢ key chain type

I've tried some similar with the desk lamp I use when I don't want the room light on. It just doesn't seem to work as well with my phone camera as the built in flash.

I've noticed some variations on my Ts colors when I use a flash as opposed to when I don't. I've also had T colors look a lot different depending on the angle I took the photo at(regardless of flash or not). At one angle my C.cyaneopubescens has blue legs. In the same light at a different angle they look jet black. So I think some variations in color is to be expected. The main reason I like to use the Canon with no flash is it doesn't spook the T as often and I can get multiple shots in case the first one doesn't look good. Plus it's less stress on the T.

 

[Trenor]

Well, I re-purposed the way too big enclosure I had my sub-adult male C.cyaneopubescens in. I'm getting it ready for a new arboreal that is coming in soon. I'm still working on making my setups look better but this one turned out pretty good. At least I think so.

Thanks man. It is a great tank, was too big for the GBB, he only ever used one side(which he really webbed heavy). He has a nice new enclosure with lots of web spots and has proceeded to cover everything. Now it's all prepared for a MF P.cambridgei that should be getting here sometime this week.

That setup looks cool. Your spider will love it Remember to post some pics of the Psalmo when you got her

I'm pretty excited, so you know there will be photos.

I understand that you are exited. Gotta love those psalms. Hope you will be happy for her.

Is that one from Jamie's Tarantulas?

Looks super nice!
