Hello everyone. I know I don't post here that often, so I thought I would share my photoshoot today.
I recently bought a new diffuser for my DLSR and wanted to try it out, I really wanted to get some good photos of some of my collection.
So here are a few, I hope you like them.

Funny note:
The P Irminia. Well, as I was about to take a photo of its legs sticking out of its turret, it decided to bolt. I was sitting on the floor, and it went straight under my bum and sat there. I had to carefully get up and coax it out, then it ran up my leg and settled on my knee, So I took a picture. After this, it ran up my leg, up my belly across my chest, under my armpit and settled on my elbow. This was better because I was able to get it back in the enclosure from there. What fun :D

Vitalius Chromatus. Tliltocatl Albopilosus. Linothele Fallax. Phormingochilus Hatihati and Pslamopoeus irminia.

P. Irminia under the bum sounds like it could turn into a serious pain in the @$$....lol. Sorry I couldn't resist! Bet it was interesting to have a Psalmopeous skittering all over you. Don't know whether to be jealous or not. Lol. I agree with Ratmosphere as well about the Linothele.

It was interesting. But it's definitely the closest I can get to my Tarantulas.

My latest close encounter was my P. Tigrinaweselli sling when I put it in it's enclosure. Don't really go for the handling thing for 1: It just stresses them out and 2: most of my collection is old world T's and Psalmopeous. Mess with my Ecclesiasticus and she will definitely put a hurting on ya!! Bad as any Cyriopagopous ever had time to be. Happy Spoodering brother!

I don't handle either if I can help it. I also have a few old worlds and I wouldn't want to hurt them if they decided to tag me.
