My Tarantula ‘Chilean Rose’ Shedding Her Skin 2FPS Slideshow
Written by scottology on June 3, 2010 – 9:12 pm -This is my tarantula, a chilean Rose, she is 13 years old. In this video you will witness her shedding skin. 62 Pictures were taken with a Nikon D50 using a tripod. If you want to learn how to do this sort of thing, then continue reading: The program ‘advanced image resizer’ was used to change the size of the pictures in bulk (roughly from a resolution of 3000×2400 to 360×240 approx. 10% of the original quality), A niffty little freeware program called ‘monkeyjam’ was used to import the pictures, once imported they become animated not unlike a slide show (you can set FPS). Click on ‘export exposure sheet as an avi movie’, name the file, set image size to 320×240, leave the video compression set to none and adjust the audio compression to Microsoft ADPCM then click on ’save the movie’. It’s really that easy and you may have learn’t something new from this. Really It’s just a bit of fun, for some educational, enjoy!

Richard’s rat snake
Written by scottology on March 20, 2010 – 6:29 am -myself with my nephew’s rat snake. itz got such a beautiful skin/scales. the tail starts off like a thin strip of yellow and black lines, looking like a nylon or plastic cord, then as the markings move up the body they become more spotted & diamond with no stripe/s. my sisterz maid helped me take some of the footage. she was terrified. it was so funny 
i love rat snakes as they resemble the python and boa family [ my fave ] but don’t get as big, so one doesn’t have to have a huge living area for them. i find it SO cruel confining these large creatures to small unnatural quarters, as some do!!! they need large prey – feed them rabbits and chickens – SORRY… i could NEVER!!! i believe in the food chain, but i love rabbits and fowls, so i guess i’ll never own a boa ***sigh*** unless i kept cane rats… now THEREZ an idea that just occured to me!!! i knew professor alexander from durban varsity. she was working on breeding cane rats for human consumption in restaurants as a delicacy! the old duck was sadly run over and killed. i have no idea if her research was continued by another. i must ask her brother and grandchildren. i do know a north coast restaurant had already added this delicacy to their menu back then!
