good evening,

the newest bug that joined my crawling family - 0.1 juvenile t. blondi

(i'm guessing around 4,5 cm bodylength)

thank you very much.

my camera is a canon eos 300d (i think it's called digital rebel or something in the u.s.). lens was a cheap soligor 100 macro. i used a multiblitz flash unit from one side and some white paper for reflection from the other side.

best regards

The pictures above are excellent representations of what a male T. apophysis is supposed to look like - here are a few more for comparison:

I think this is why it was called Pseudotheraphosa before. Beautiful pictures Philth!

T blondi approx 7-9inch. i dunno, lol


She had an insatiable habit of climbing the backwall of her enclosure, i tried humidity, and temperature changes but nothing worked. i gave her another hide and she settled down and hasn't done it once since
