Buying a P.mettalica soon

[Crazy0monkey]

Idk if this is a good price but yea. $175 for sling. Seems to be much higher everywhere else. + i am in canada. Could someone please give me some caresheets for this pokey xD and if anyone has pics of there metalica or enclousures that would be great

If yr going to pay that much for a sling you should probably put the leg work into using the search function.

Good luck, they are gorgeous!

I think you keep them like any other poecilotheria. They all have basically the same requirements as far as temp, humidity and physical setup is concerned. Is this your first pokie?

hahah ur really going for it ~?
guess ur spring break didnt go to waste

better get one while you can.

Ye i was pretty sure its like most pokeys. Not 2hard 2 take care of. Room temp should be fine and just mist it xD. If temp needs raising i havea heat mat i could poisiton off to the side that would heat it a little

Geeeeeeeezzzz... $175.00 for a sling!!!

All I can say is... look on the bright side. You've got a 50% chance it's a female!

Paid mine 400$ last Years. And they once sold even more expensive.

I bet, next year the price will decline once more.

Seen it happen with many of the "must have" species. The GBB is a good example.

Good old, supply and demand. lol

That is a good price btw, I recently paid $200 for mine.

 

[Noexcuse4you]

I don't buy any slings over about $150. The way I see it is by the time the expensive ones come down in price, your sling will already be almost full grown, if not mature and it will be worth much more than $150.

Now if only M. balfouri would come down to $150....

Alright, glad im paying a good price
