I guess I've become a little jaded after seeing a P metalica. I was hoping for something purple and green... Looks a lot like a P. Formosa.

Hi,

would be nice if there were more pics like ventral shots... the species on this pic looks like most Poecilotheria...
Where does it come from? Highland/lowland-species? Similarities/differences/characteristics?

 

[Scorpendra]

i guess i shouldn't be too dissapointed, since most pokies look like that.

 

[KingBowser]

I think everyone's jaded by P. metallica...to top that it needs to be neon green and pink with bright red fangs. :}

 

[Scorpendra]

there could possibly be a T like that out there...pretending to be a flower...

wow great news!!looks similiar to regalis/faciata.i guesse theres still alot of poecilotheria species out there to be found.rick west told me this in a chat on the t-store forum.india is huge so i imagine there are some amazing tarantulas there waiting to be found.sad thing is tho with the amount of deforestation thats going on there alot of these unkown species and other poecs will be lost forver

Yeah i have to agree. They are all stunning T's, but after P.metallica I'm expecting them to start coming in day-glo colors!

 

[Heather]

Pretty! But I think all Pokies are...

I'm never have one of each if they keep discovering new ones

 

[Philth]

Great , if we start hyping it up now, maybe it will only be 400 bucks by the time it reaches the U.S.

Later, Tom

haha right

P. metallica's look nice in pictures, but I can't justify the price for one spider.

Like ShadowBlade, I think P. rufilata and P. subfusca are just as gorgeous, for a lot less money.

Personally I like the look of this new one, if it is new. I like the soft colors of it.

 

[Bothrops]

Yeap, it's always very nice when a new species is discovered.

Personally, I like that new species, but none like a P. ornata or a P. miranda IMHO.

ahh well looks like this probaly isnt a new species haha

A new specie means that she's not describe

 

[massmorels]

i dig it.. but im obsessed with pokies. I have 10 different sp. now, owned 11. And in my opinion, i like the subfusca more than the metallica.
