Those are really beautiful! I had thought P. metallica too gaudy for my taste but I really like how these look — darker with tinges of blue rather than oversaturated.

Most metallica pics are barely oversaturated btw. They really are that blue. The females darken with age.

Heress, my P. ornata, finally out of her hide long enough for me to get a good body shot~

My freshly molted beauty! ^_^
It looks like they may be around 3” DLS!

Male or female?

Poecilotheria metallica. She’s about 1.5” and a voracious eater. Her hobbies include snatching unsuspecting bugs and housekeeping within her demesne.
(Also, I’m trying to figure out how to use these forums )

/To me/, this looks like a flap~ That plus the apparently vibrant colours of the T would lead me to believe that this is a female I could be COMPLETELY wrong, but that's what my eyes see lol

 

[Mychajlo]

The dark stripe in the white stripe going down the back of its abdomen indicates that it would be male, so I’ve heard

 

[Apriltaylor]

this is our P. regalis. That's my son holding her, but i was uncomfortably close when taking the pics!lol

3" female p. subfusca highland.

[Apriltaylor]

These links are broken. (I don't think Photobucket allows hotlinking anymore without a subscription.)

not sure if this will show up or not, so someone tell me if it doesn't!

This link didn't work, because it was to the Facebook story "thread" rather than directly to the image itself.

P. regalis looking nice and plump after a horn worm. Perfect time to rehouse into a larger enclosure.
