There all great images there Nick, totally in love with that centipede & that mouse spider!

 

[reptilezac]

[richoman_3]

great shots! Nick just wondering to you edit them onto the white background ?

nope! .. no editing at all

all the white photos are taken on paper ... thats why some are a bit of a different variant of white colour

all good

editing like that is for cheaters who can't be bothered spending countless hours trying to perfect techniques

 

[NickGeee]

So you keep all the animals you photographed on the white paper?
Amazing critters, was hoping you would post some
Bwahahaha "water scorpions banging" made my day :lol:

 

[treeofgreen]

Hahahahahahaha well played

Epic post.

 

[Porkbones]

Loving the T's mate and really like the pede. With your T's, do you have to pull them out of burrows for the shots?? Dnt knw if I would want to go to the trouble of getting mine out of their burrow for the pics. Would like to tho after seeing ur pics

 

[richoman_3]

Thanks all

@Nickgeee - Most of them are mine, some of them were just out in the bush

@Porkbones - i usually get photos of them as soon as i receive them, or during rehousing

 

[Chicken]

love the mitchelli nick

 

[Porkbones]

Thanks mate.im gonna re house 1 of mine so might try take a shot. Tiny little jumping insects through her substrate. And have also noticed lots of small creamy/yellow balls ontop of and also down in her substrate.any idea?? Have looked it up on another site and from memory I read it wasn't harmful

hmmm could be phorid flies … id clean it out if i was you .. people say they can be harmless .. but they wiped 200 of my inverts out last year

 

[Porkbones]

Woah 200??? How does 1 get them?? Is it because the substrate is to wet??? These little creamy yellow balls tho I'm not sure if thts to do with the flies or not.i noticed the substrate was dry so instead of spraying it I decided to pour some water on it( maybe a little too much lol ). And since then thts when I noticed the flies and creamy balls. But in saying tht the balls are bigger thn the flies soooooo not sure what it is.a type of mould maybe?.either way I'm changing substrate .me other T I've never had any probs with substrate and I've had her for 4 years

 

[wasgij]

beautiful mouse mate, very jealous

 

[Planky]

Nick if available can u pm me with a contact to buy some of these mouse spiders please

 

[Porkbones]

Hey mate just another quick question . Do u take ur pics in just the natural light going into the room whr u are or do you set up some lighting for what u need?

 

[campbell72010]
