Tom M's Picture Thread

I love the diversity. I'm slowly coming around, haha.

My first Old World, an OBT:

My Pamphobeteus sp. "Ecuador":

Here is a 3D stereogram of my first sexed tarantula (Female).

What you have to do is cross your eyes to make the two photos line up together. You should sort of see 3 pictures in a row, the two on the sides are blurry and out of focus a little, the one in the middle will appear to be 3D once your eyes relax on that center picture. ENJOY!:

I Like the Pampho Pix 2

Thanx for showin' your Image style. Quality Record keeping also :clap: - Jason

 

[TomM]

Thank you very much. After My collection grew to more than 3 I had to start using a program to keep track. That list doesn't even include my true spiders.

 

[TomM]

A very exciting molt. Definitely becoming my favorite species really quick, my Pamphobeteus sp. "South Ecuador" is starting to turn some cool colors.

Very cool collection and I know it's been said but that's some tight record keeping.

Very cool collection and I know it's been said but that's some tight record keeping.

Thank you very much. I also got you comment on youtube on my video of my snapping turtle Bert. He's the man, glad you liked it.
