Comment. Do they normally live on sand? J Milburn (talk) 11:29, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm wondering if there's any pictures of one of these eating a bird. IMO too bad about the colors, the brown of its hair doesn't stand out well against the sand, but this is a pretty good photo. --I′d※<3※Ɵɲɛ (talk) 14:17, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I leased this spider and other poisonous tarantulas from a private zoo collection. It is really dangerous "pet". Abandoned beach of the Black sea was used as similar photostudio. -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 08:21, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW thanks for the work and taking this picture, keep it up. --I′d※<3※Ɵɲɛ (talk) 04:46, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I think the vantage point of above the animal isn't the most attractive, a closer to ground vantage point would of been better, and I think the sand backdrop isn't very natural for Brazilian spider... — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 02:21, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I already commented on this picture at COM:QIC, the lighting is not ideal at all. The dark shadows blend in with the spider and make its contours hard to see. --Dschwen 20:09, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, I'm sorry, I'm not wild about this. The angle isn't right for me, and the fact it's on sand is a little... Odd. J Milburn (talk) 23:50, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
