Poecilotheria vs H. mac Debate

[Dry Desert]

I do have a corner of my room basically untouched, perhaps when the little guy grows up I’ll get a much larger vertical setup for it!

I personally would go for P.regalis. I kept several years ago, beautiful T's.

P.metallica.
The blue colour only really appears when they are adult. With the male being more vibrant blue than the female, and as the males life span is usually a maximum of four years, not a great amount of time to enjoy.

Currently I have all my metallica in 30x30x45(w) cm tanks. They are probably just shy of 10cm dls now. They use the whole enclosure so far. Burrows, web at the base, web at the top. Climb on the wood, climb on the glass, climb on the plants. Granted they were just moved a month or 2 ago. May be still just searching around.

Not active of course, but they use the whole space. Probably one of the reasons I like pokies so much, they do venture out a lot when comfortable.
