Thanks,that one turned out nice alright, although I have noticed a huge difference in final quality between Photobucket and flickr... Highly recommended for a photo enthusiast like yourself.

The camera is nothing special, a fujifilm S2000HD... Not a holiday point 'n' click, but not the DSLR I would like! Really good for a bridge camera tho...

Sloooow T to moult, but shouldn't be too long till next ecdysis, your "Avic. avic." should start looking like this soon enough!

Cheers

This T hasn't moulted since about late August/September Strange behaviour compared to other T's I've kept, she will feed a lot for about 4-5 weeks, build herself up then go on hunger strike for months , sometimes taking bluebottle flies or waxmoths in between. That's what elicits the strongest feeding response in this particular Avic; smaller flying prey. She'd sooner catch 5 bluebottles than one standard/ large silent cricket.

This one moulted a couple of weeks back, and the adult colouration is getting strong... Forgot to post a few updates on EIE, but here's an X-Wing chasing Boba Fett to make up for it.

Again Matt great spider and pics...I'm back home in a few days and can't wait to check progress in my little guy!

Cheers Tony, looking forward to seeing how that one progresses too

Superb pics of an awesome spider! The colours are so beautiful.

Cheers Tan, really nice T's deffo, this one's a bit more defensive than it used to be, but still a docile T really!
Of course there are a lot faster genus of spiders in the hobby, but this one can put boot-to-ground fairly lively!!
