Nice T's! i want an irminia, though i havent actually noticed any for sale here.:?

 

[xgrafcorex]

these were taken at a park down the road, and a trail branching off into the woods.

 

[xgrafcorex]

more of the same.

 

[xgrafcorex]

and more again. some random piece of bone. and the last one is a little crab i noticed before it managed to get into its hole. my apologies for the lack of ts...if there were some in the woods, i'd have gotten them up on here too.

first pic post #18 looks like a pokie kinda

 

[xgrafcorex]

to make up for the lack of ts in the last posts..heres my male ornata...not sexed male from exuvium..just the dark interior stripe on the dorsal side of the abdomen. followed by a not so great pic of my recently molted unsexed g aureostriata. its about 3 inches now.

 

[xgrafcorex]

one more of the ornata before it went into hiding.

a few recent pics...male b vagans having lunch.

female a seemani in her hide. shes been in there all the time and doing a little webbing...one of these days shes going to either molt or drop a sac. she is pretty plump. pic is kinda hazy because its through the plastic.

male g rosea also through the plastic also

and last my unsexed p cambridgei...it tried to escape when i first opened the lid..but then it just relaxed

 

[xgrafcorex]

caught my c fasciatum out after weeks of it staying inside its burrow. also my irminia decided to take a stroll...good ol darkness.

Pics are lookin great bri. That lizard in the park looks awesome.

 

[jdcarrel]

very nice pics. What kind of camera are you using?

 

[xgrafcorex]

thanks manny...i guess you are talking about the first one? the patern makes me think of a snake. theres lots of crazy lizards around here..but they don't like close ups as soon as i get close enough to get a good pic, they usually move a little farther..even when i was already where i would stand..just raising the camera and pointing it at them would freak them out a little.

very nice pics. What kind of camera are you using?

thanks. its a canon rebel xt, with an 18-55mm lens.

 

[xgrafcorex]

ha was just talking about molting gbbs and i came home to this

 

[smof]

Ooh, shiny new

 

[xgrafcorex]

took a few pics while cleaning and feeding today.
1. n vulpinus 1" unsexed

2. c cyaneopubescens 1.25" unsexed eating a cricket. taken outside, but none came out as good as i hoped. was also kinda breezy which the t wasn't very happy about. so the "shoot" got cut short.

3. b vagans exuvium i had previously thought my vagans was a male because i couldn't see anything..but i tried the flightlight through paper towl trick and this is what i saw

4. a versicolor 1.25" unsexed just hanging out waiting for me to drop a cricket in. i just open the top and drop one in right one top of it...and the t catches them instantly.

5. thought this was funny...my gbb before its last molt...looks like it stepped in gum or something but i think its a piece of the subtrate sticking up under the webbing.

Very nice collection!!

Im curious can you go into more detail with the flashlight thing, i wanna give it a try. thanks

 

[xgrafcorex]

thanks..well i read about it recently on the boards here. i folded up a paper towel to cut down the light so i could look at it, and put the molt over that (kinda like one of those light tables architects use) the light shines through the paper towel and the molt, which makes the spermathecae more visible. it helps a lot with smaller exuviums. the b vagans exuvium in the picture has a 2.5" leg span. tried with some other small molts but they were a little twisted or just torn up and couldn't get a good view.

ps. to answer your ? in your pic thread, the vagans is now about 3.5" and was a little confused by the second half of the ?..is it a reference to them being possible cross bred sp? i have seen this mentioned here and there but haven't seen anything "official" about it.

 

[Gesticulator]

thanks. i'm not sure yet..once i can get the molt out of there i should be able to figure it out. there are no hooks or bulbs so far though.

Nice photos!!! Love the backyard "squatters". BTW, you won't find hooks on the P irminia,as they don't have any when mature. The sexual dimorphism among the species is veyr apparant, with the males being much more "faded", and IMO have a more feathery appearance.
Here's a a shot of one of my "couples" the male is on the left.

 

[Gigas]

Have you goten a resultfronm the mating?
How good is the vision of your irminia? im just curious, some people say theres see them coming from across the room
