I recently purchased a 3-4" P.Striata (unsexed). Are these a rare species of Poecilotheria ? I know there not rare like a Metallica, Subfusca, Miranda, or Smithi but they are still pretty rare aren't they ? I mean compared to Regalis, Fasciata, Pederseni, ect... Also how toxic is there venom, (example) If you got bit would it require medical treatment ? Thank you for your time and look forward to reading your replies. Good day.

i wouldnt consider striata to be that rare here in the usa.there not really as popular as some of the other species of Poecilotheria but i think there pretty nice :]
bites from this species would be similiar to bites from any poec.and yes getting bit by an adult can in fact send u to the hospital!

I voted for P subfusca.
Not really sure why but I like these guys better than any of the other pokies.
I still do really like all pokies:D

I voted "other".

I have had a striata, ornata, and a penderseni.

my favorite is the ornata. I've traded off the other two for NW species.

I put down Fasciata as my favorite because they were my first pokies. Sentimental I suppose.

Gotta love blue (P. matalica). But I also like P. formosa.

Sorry, I can't pick. I love all pokies. I have some adult regalis females that are showing amazing colors, rufilatas are just stunning, I love ornatas, metallicas are so beautiful I can't believe they are real sometimes, and who can resist the lovely colors on a formosa?

I'm not too much into the genus Poecilotheria since I keep mostly terrestrial species.
I only had a female P. ornata that died of old age some years ago and a male P. regalis that I traded in after it became adult.
But recently I got two P. metallica slings as a gift from a buddy of mine who is breeding them. So I voted metallica because they will get pretty and came for free... :D
