Trip to Venezuela...

[AlanMM]

Hello all,

I'm just back from a vacation in venezuela, here are some shots of the hikings i did in the jungle. Avicularia sp., Nephila sp, cameleons, snakes...

 

[Atalanta]

Gorgeous pictures, as always! Looks like you had a great trip. I bet it's amazing to see an Avic. (and other creatures) in their natural habitat.

great pics man... :clap:

 

[Scorpendra]

wow, those are good pics, especially the spiders. correct me if i'm wrong, but i think that avicularia is an A. geroldi.

Sigh....Even Rick C West wont ID a T from a pic. It would be a guess in most instances. A mega-guess in avicularia...

Stick around, pic ID'ing is at best taking stabs at things

*sigh* i get one mantis wrong and comment on other people's pets for a long time, and suddenly, i'm the forum idiot...
not like i get my guesses right out of the air, and it's not like i am saying that i am 100% right without any possible doubt in anyone's mind. what species do you think it is?

that spider is best left as being Avic.sp .

seriously, it's like i'm being treated as a moron because i'm new.

What kind of chameleon is that? Looks like a small green iguana with chameleon eyes....

 

[FryLock]

It has some very small white tipping and dark reddish hair (strongist on leg IV) both of which geroldi lacks, plus A.ger is afaik only found on a small island in a lake that lake being possibly in Brazil? (Correct me if am wrong), to me it looks closer to A.met but that spider is best left as being Avic.sp .

BTW: chameleon is used a name for some anoles too.

where i venezuela did you go?i was in nirgua

 

[Crotalus]

There are no chamaeleons found in the new world, they are a ord world group of lizards. Nice pix anyway!
Oh yeah there are a hawaiian jacksoni population but they come from pets that been released on the island.

Hi,
Some great pictures,hope you had a great time, did a trip like this cost you much??? Id love to try something like this someday

My guess at the avic would be Avicularia sp 'Venezuela' LOL

 

[shogun804]

no guesses on what type of avic it is, but have to say awsome pics, its great when people post pics of there adventures, hope you had a great time thanks for sharing those sweet pics. :clap:

 

[jdcarrel]

how big is that? Looks good.

 

[AlanMM]

Well, i don't know anything about chameleons or snakes, but i thought it looked like chameleons because of the rolling eyes...
(i leave it to the experts to tell what those are)

I went to Isla Margarita, a "jungle" island part of venezuela at 30 km near the coast of venezuela ( that's were i found those avics), and Canaima, that's a national park in Venezuela were the famous angel falls are.

A trip to venezuela don't cost that much. Only the plane ticket from europe.
Hotels and food over there are very cheap. And u can make lot's of excursions with a guide at a good price. 5 days for 200 euro or something...

I had a fantastic time over there, going back in july...

Or maybe check out the greentracks.com site from Rick West...

:eek: how big is that? Looks good.[/QUOTE]

Well, u kinda can see how big it is seeing the hand next to it... i guess around 12 to 15cm...
In the left bottom of the web, u can see the male (i guess).

I assume it's a huge female nephila... they were building huge webs over there... webs with a span of 2m +

 

[rafasani]

that´s not a chameleon, that´s a lizard from the genus Polychrus... I´m from Brazil, there are some species of that genus here either...

GREAT pictures! That must have been an amazing trip..
