nice spiders!

I am curious, what does this species look like without flash?

Binx (0.1 B. hamorii) was out exploring her enclosure today.

This little creature ( 0.0.1 Ornithoctoninae sp. Vietnam Silver) is like a little stick of dynamite. Extremely food motivated with a spicy personality. Right now he/she is getting ready to molt soon.

They go through a lot of color changes as they grow. Right now mine has a reddish-purple- brown color on her carapace and legs. The flash really brings out the purple. I'm excited for her colors to get brighter as she grows.

I've found this species, and fossorial ornithoctonines in general, are some of the most food-motivated Ts around as slings.

Thanks! I got a macro lens on my phone a few months ago and I've been practicing with it.

Ripley (AF C. marshalli) snacking on a cricket just outside the entrance to her burrow.

Sheik (0.1 L. sazimai) on the lookout for potential prey. Her abdomen is very rotund, however. So she won't be getting any more food until after her next molt.

Laguna, AF C. Cyaneopubescens, during feeding time.

My big girl taking a midnight stroll around her enclosure. She molted recently and I measured her...10.5in legspan. Whenever I see her I'm in awe.

 

[spideyspinneret78]

Lucille ( N. coloratovillosus) angry as always. According to her, if I touch her water dish again, I'll be SORRY.

 

[spideyspinneret78]

Carmen (P. auratus) is so pretty. It looks like she's been sprinkled with gold dust.

 

[spideyspinneret78]

Graham (G. pulchripes) is looking very handsome lately.

 

[spideyspinneret78]

Roxy (0.1 N. tripepii) in premolt, hanging out at the entrance to her burrow.

 

[spideyspinneret78]

Kali ( P. metallica) showing off her brilliant blue coloration.

 

[spideyspinneret78]

She comes out every night, but it's very challenging to get a photo of her! Ursula AF Ornithoctoninae sp. hati hati. Despite what caresheets online often say, this species doesn't grow nearly as large as commonly reported.

 

[spideyspinneret78]

Skyler (D. diamantinensis) came out of her webbing and showed off her brilliant coloration. She's tiny...but her colors are like a little gemstone.

 

[spideyspinneret78]

Primrose in all her glory. This little G. rosea, a ball of pink fluff, is very spicy. She thinks she's the most intimidating, terrifying arachnid on the planet. The slightest movement triggers a threat pose from this little lady.
