have u ever seen an adult in person?Yeah, I think they look good as well. Allow me to amend the original post. You can make out the cream/whitish femurs in any light. That, in combination with the fluffy appears of the femur and different coloration of the distal leg segments makes for a very attractive spider, no doubt. But many will assert that M. balfouri is more "blue" than P. metallica. I would have to disagree.
I've never seen a post-embryo in personhave u ever seen an adult in person?
They do grow pretty quickly IME... and are fun and interesting to keep.From what I gather, they are a medium growing species and hardy like the baboon type spiders.
I've seen them called: Socotra Island Blue Baboon Tarantula or sometimes just Socotra Island Baboon TarantulaWhat was is "Common" name for them again?
I know we don't like common names but I use common and scientific names in my labeling and tracking system.
