Tarantulas

Keeping with the spiders, I heard from an old school friend who was always keen on arachnids and reptiles. Ben was happy to let me come and photograph some of his pets, including a variety of tarantulas and three snakes. Two of these were boa constrictors and the last a californian king snake.

The size of these spiders varied from around a centimetre in leg-span to a couple of inches. I wanted to continue photographing arachnids to show a variation within my project. These spiders were a little more difficult to photograph as they moved around a lot more, and made it much harder to focus stack them.

Kudos to Ben, I'll be returning through the holidays and continuing with his spiders and snakes.
