wat size is your p met in? 8*8?

They both were in 20 gal tall's. I rehoused them into smaller tanks after they were mated and began putting size on ;). Smaller space equals comfort and security for this species.

One tank is 9x8x8 I believe (Exo). Other tank is a 10 gal converted into an arboreal tank with acrylic lid.

Any idea how old the metallica is? She shows the dark coloration very nicely :)

Hair grew back, as well as all coloration. Very weird IMO.
