In Search of Mexico’s Brachypelma Red Leg Tarantulas -
Along the Pacific Slopes of the Sierra Madre Mountains
– Price £10 including p/p
Accompany Britain’s most experienced tarantula collectors into the field for a magical adventure scouring the hillsides of Mexico in search of the world’s most beautiful tarantulas. 185 sumptuous photographs of five different Brachypelma’s, tons of habitat shots and important field data concerning temperature and humidity. For the first time you can see how your smithi lives in the wild and use that info. to keep them successfully in captivity! The narration is by Andrew Smith and was recorded professionally in a sound studio. All of the photographs were taken in the Sierra Madre Mountains along the Pacific coast of Mexico.
This must be one of the most exciting ideas in years – a DVD with a studio recorded soundtrack (narrated by Andrew Smith) and 185 of the most scrumptious photographs ever taken of the Mexican Red Leg Brachypelma Tarantulas. The intention is to produce a new DVD each year for you to collect. We have included all of the most beautiful species - males and females – and guarantee that every one of these spider images was taken in the field. You get wonderful original photographs of Brachypelma smithi, emilia, klaasi, boehmei and baumgarteni - and not only spiders. Also included are rare habitat shots and important temperature and burrow data. For the first time ever, you can see how and where your spiders live in the wild and discover at what temperatures they are best kept at. Plus you have permission to download up to 10 images at a time for your own private gallery. We only ask that you to retain the security watermark and tell your friends where you got them.
We have sent out 20 DVD’S for reviews and the reviewers have loved them – so will you. Every DVD is signed by Andrew Smith to ensure that they are genuine and retain their value in the years to come. In fact we are so confident that you will ENJOY IT – we can offer a money back guarantee. Remember Andrew Smith’s books now sell on the second hand market for $500. This DVD could turn out to be an investment!!!
This exciting DVD was first presented at the BTS February Lectures, where since its inception, Andrew Smith has presented the annual after dinner talk. Andrew Smith (Chairman of the BTS, Research Associate of the BMNH and Fellow of the Zoological Society of London) is a world-renowned lecturer, writer and arachno-historian. For thirty years he has travelled the world in search of tarantula spiders and over that time has published three major reference works and hundreds of papers on the subject of tropical arachnids. In fact his He has lectured in Europe, America and the Far East and is renowned for his astonishing field photographs and original research material – much of which, he has gathered on his annual field trips abroad and in forays to museum archives all over the world. It is this refreshing originality that has made him a world-class lecturer of distinction. There are not many writers whose books (Baboon Spiders and Tarantulas of the USA & Mexico) now sell for hundreds of pounds on the second hand market!

Notice:
The cover of this DVD portrays handling of a live tarantula, although we as a society do not advocate such handling and believe this should be kept to only necessary handling and not gratuitous handling for fun.
