blue, blue-er blue-est!

[becca81]

yes, i did. do you have an import license so you can import yourself?

I wish

Hopefully these will become more common in the US over the next several years and the price will eventually go down. Do you happen to know how many times they have successfully been bred in Europe?

It would be good to get some more bloodlines of this species into the US.

it looks that females can vary in color quite a lot. just look at this female from Ray Gabriel:

Wow, that is a gorgeous spider. I'm amazed by all the blues you get on tarantulas! Can't wait for the day when I have one of these, and a GBB, and an A. versicolor, and a Cobalt. Blue is my favourite colour

 

[Yellow]

she's beautiful! I love poecilotheria.. but metalliaca is very expensive in Europa

 

[PinkLady]

When I see pics of these T's I'm totally speachless. They are absolutely more beautiful then words can describe. Oh to be able to afford one of them. :worship: :drool: :drool: :worship:

how the hell did you get a good molt to sex them? Mine just tears it up. My Metallica never leaves it unshredded nor does my fasciata.

 

[metallica]

but you don't need a perfect molt to sex them. even if the molt is torn, the spermatheca is visable... takes some searching trough a microscope but if it is female.. it is there.
that said, i never bothered reconstructing molts. i was fairly certain the one on the right was female(ventral sexing). and last molt proved that. spermatheca was clearly visible. even without a scope. never really had problems with molts of these. i had a whole collection of metallica molts. gave them all away as i do with all molts (mostly once a year to a school)

now the male and female are together again after a seperation of 2 weeks. will remove him again next week

anyone got some tips on how to get a sac of these juwels?

[tarsier]
