A lot of the P. mets from the 1st importation should be reaching sexual maturity. The success (or lack thereof) in breeding should have an interesting effect on the pricing. IIRC, Hendriks wrote that they were easier than P. subfusca (difficult to breed) but harder than most other Poechilotheria so I suspect we'll have reports of some failures. However, people have been posting photos of fat and healthy-looking specimens. It will be interesting to see if breeding success correlates with the apparent health of the parents. If it doesn't, that argues for something lacking in their husbandry, i.e. environmental cues, dietary, etc.
