Nice shot.

Is this about the best view you usually get of your gigas?

I actually see the gigas out a lot but they scurry as soon as you touch the cage, so it's hard to get good shots that show the color.

I can to relate to that somewhat. I've learned to make the effort to walk softly when I enter my critter & orchid room. My P irminia sling, if it is out, teleports into its burrow as soon as it feels the vibrations of someone entering the room.

Your irminia should grow out of that, I've got 4 adults that will sit still, out in the open, while I'm changing water etc. If you want a Psalmo that you can see, get a cambridgei....those guys almost never hide. I took some snaps the other day that I'll get up...they're gorgeous too. P pulcher lie somewhere between the two.

I hope so. Currently, I think, a ninja would be challenged to successful creep on it. LOL

Ahhh, so many interests, so little space. There are 2 other T's I'd like to get -- assuming I can figure out where to put them and IF I can find them at an inexpensive price ... G. pulchra and Hapalopus sp. Columbia (Pumpkin Patch). The latter shouldn't be too bad. I know a vendor that I can probably work out a trade of orchids for the T. The pulchra is the one I usually see for more than I'm willing to spend.

LOL. Truthfully the eyes are so small on a T, that unless you're taking macro shots or getting down face to face (with a glass pane between you) you won't even notice that they have eyes much of the time.
