There's nothing else to do but mess with the things that don't hibernate. At least I managed to put in some practice and get decent enough at using my camera for when the tegu wakes up. It's actually pretty active in the animal room when I have a ton of things that come from more temperate/tropical zones.

I have many more pictures that I really should get to cropping and uploading, but these will do for now. There's a bunch of closeups of their tarsi (foot equivalent) and claws that I used as a test of my macro lens's zoom capability.

Whiteknee (Acanthoscurria geniculata)

Green Bottle Blue (Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens)

Chaco Golden Knee (Grammostola aureostriata)

Desert Blonde (Aphonopelma schmidti)

Undescribed dwarf from the Hualapai region(Aphonopelma sp.)

Identification is a work in progress on this one, but possible Grand Canyon Black (Aphonopelma sp. "behlei-like")

Identified as Grand Canyon Black by someone else, but no one can say for sure at this size. (Aphonopelma behlei)

Unknown species from Sedona (Aphonopelma sp.)

Tarsus

Starburst Baboon; no full body shots on this one (Heteroscodra maculata)

Carolina Wolf (Hogna carolinensis)

Vinegaroon (Mastigoproctus giganteus)

Mantis (Stagmomantis sp.)

Dune Scorpion (Smeringurus mesaensis)

Desert Hairy Scorpion (Hadrurus arizonensis)

And one of my newest finds, a Tiger Centipede (Scolopendra polymorpha) that has a somewhat rare color that I've only heard mention of being found twice (mine being the second).

Here's a typical morph I had a long time ago for comparison:

disgusting, i want more! nasty vile little things, you're camera skills are unserpassed good sir. may i ask the brand of device that takes such stunning macro shots?

i love the subtle colors in some of the photo's; the reflection in the spiders eye, the metallic rainbow on the tarsi foot, the fact that i felt the need to comb the greenbottle spiders hair. the so obvious Cop Moustache on the blond spider.

how did you get the background to be such a solid black?

you need to breed that centipede, people would pay a killing for a blue centapede.

great, now i feel like random arachnids are crawling around inside my flesh.
