Best looking pokie

[Zevian]

Hmmm...I personally love the P. formosa (I've never personally had one but you have to appreciate those purple highlights) and the P. metallica (Come on, it's a P. metallica).

 

[Arienette]

i have a soft spot for the regalis, but i also think the smithi is beautiful

 

[rob0t]

Rufliata, ornata, metalica, regalis. Love them all really.

 

[Hydrazine]

Can one of the miranda fans explain what is uniquely beautiful about them above other Pokies? I always think that striata, miranda, pederseni, etc. have the gestalt of a regalis but not quite as a good. I feel like I must be missing something.

For me, it's definitely the "eyebrows"!

Not a pokie owner (way too inexperienced for that) but if I ever get one, it'll be miranda or the gorgeous dark subfusca

 

[catfishrod69]

Whichever one i am looking at.

I find the colors richer, the contrasts and marking more striking, and the leg banding more vivid in my miranda than my regalis or striata.

Hands down Rufilata, coloring is just amazing. But the purples the Ornata are unparalleled and a close second.

 

[Niffarious]

There are few tarantulas that can rival the striking beauty of P. metallica, and we know it! Too bad they are so light sensitive...

Thankfully my gorgeous P. regalis are far more happy to be on display, even if they aren't blue.

I preffer miranda over regalis because of those wide big bands on patella. It makes it much more contrasting and more "defined"

 

[Protectyaaaneck]

I'm partial to P. subfusca, P. formosa, P. tigrinawesseli, and P. metallica. It'd be very hard to choose just one though as I love all Pokies.

 

[rob0t]

My favorite is the laser eye metalica form.

 

[Jessie]

P. pederseni and rufilata.

 

[jdl]

Metallica. It is just the most contrasting of the Poecilotheria. Formosa second.

 

[rasulsimakshah]

i would say metallica for colored pokies, but definitely subfusca high/lowland and regalis otherwise

 

[Solucki]

Psh. Rufilata of course! Why? Because A) its green...B ) ..its green. And C) Dude, I mean, come on. Its green.

With red hair, it's like Christmas morning! But with fangs!!

 

[Kungfujoe]

ill have to agree with grayzone about advans p sufusca

 

[Storm76]

i highly encourage all you to go to advans photos and check out the new subfusca line up haha.. one of his most recent subfusca shots made my decision for me.

Yep - absolutely gorgeous girl! I care more about those than P. metallica actually. P. metallica is looking great, but P. subfusca just has waaaaaaaay better contrasts on it! Love Chad's pictures of that girl...

Also, i dont know if this is entirely normal or not but my subfusca sling (approximately 1.5-1.75max) swears its an avic.

Every Poeci sling ive ever raised burrows. Except this subfusca. It has created a web ball on the lid of its deli and it just hangs out there all day. It molted inside the ball, and kicked its exuvium out, and has been there for the past 2 or 3 weeks without moving.

Either way, i like the visibility factor and i hope it stays that way

You're lucky. My sling is somewhat...weird. It has a corkbark tube in its enclosure that it uses sometimes (especially runs into it if I hit it accidentally with the light) but for the most part, he/she stay behind that thing on the ground, webbing quite some there and chilling.

 

[tyrantuladub]

I'm gonna have to say regalis. I really love the contrasting colors. Also, they're one of the spiders that got me into T's. Metallica is nice also.
