As always, you make me envious with your photos. Nice job!

Thank you, tirediron. I think I have most of the topics covered in my blog. You can start with the Recommended Reading on the right column.

Thank you, fotomonkey. Why wouldn't your tarantula pose? They don't normally move that much. I have photographed many in the wild.

Unfortunately he's skiddish. When I take the top off his enclosure he skitters under his log. He must know I'm writing about him because he's watching me.

I don't have many good pics of him but if you'd like to see him I can post something. I don't want my crappy cell phone pics (that's usually what's handy when he comes out) to take away from yours.
