Greetings from Peru
« on: November 18, 2006, 04:56:20 AM »

Hi All,
Many of you probably know me from www.venomlist.com so I wont bore you all with a boring all about me thread Shocked LOL.
I am on vacation here in Peru but I live in the USA (MO to be precise). I will be back home in the states next week.
Here are some pics I took while here in Peru.........................

First stop was in a place called Sayan. When walking out of town I found a rock with 2 juvenile Latrodectus geometricus.



This is the typical habitat there, rocky and very very dry.



Not really much in Sayan other than a few True Spiders, so we left there after about 3 hours.



Next stop was in Churin. This area is a little more lush and the scenery is breathtaking.




The crickets there are HUGE!!!! I know some tarantulas that would love to sink their teeth into one of these LOL


It didsnt take very long until I found a baby scorpion under a rock. Probably a Hadruroides sp


Check this out!!! I finally found a tarantula down here. I have no idea which species it is. Check out the mite on the back leg. And no thats not my cigarette butt in the 2nd pic. The only place I find stuff down here is where there is alot of trash on the ground.




Found this little Jumping spider on a flower.


The scenery is just awesome in Churin. It reminds me of Canta which is also in Peru.



Here is a scorpion I found. Another Hadruroides sp I presume. Looks just like the ones I found in Canta this time last year.

Thanks. I dont keep all that many reptiles anymore but I do keep many inverts (mostly scorpions). I do keep a few venomous snakes and plan to keep all venomous one day.

Cheers,
