No love?? :tears:

Have no fear ;)

What a cute little guy <3

How is baby Panera doing?

She is too flighty, and jumpy :P She will not sit still for me to get a decent picture of her lol. I will try the cold cup trick on her soon :)

She's gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks yo :D

I have never been into hairy legs :8:, but I have to say those are interesting creatures, and of course the photography is amazing :gj:..........as usual

What a little DOLL! I miss having a T around... :oops:

Thanks you two! :D Haha sounds like you need to start adding some T's to your collection there, Laooda :D

Love it! :D Wish I had more time to add some to my collection. With Kelly in school and both of us working it is a chore to keep up what we have.
Great photos!

Aww that sucks you can't add any :( And Thanks for the comments :D

Looks Like Patrick is the new owner of this lil girl :D :salute:

great shot brudda man!

7 legs??? :confused:

Hi,

I could be wrong but it looks like she is re-growing the front left leg after losing it.

It looks thinner and less hairy?


dr del

cool, i have one too but don't know its sex. It is about the size of a loonie.

Yep! She loses her leg every molt, for who knows why. Her humidity is perfect, as well as her temperatures. She isn't under much stress as well. The only time shes bothered is during feeding/cleaning...hence, 7 legged freak :P

I stand corrected....it turns out this girl isn't a Grammostola aureostria (Chaco Goldknee), but infact a Lasiodora difficilus (Brazilian Firered Birdeater). There was a mix-up during shipping, and she was just identified :)

Nice work there! Yeah I'm not good with insects and spiders, but they sure are an interesting photographic subject....whats the cold cup trick you mentioned by the way?

regards Scott

It is the same trick most photographers use for snakes and lizards, except you use a short, cool cup instead of a bowl, to limit their walking space and keep them from climbing the cup :) Keeps them in the general area long enough to get a shot.
