Hey guys I was wondering if you could give any extra pointers or tips on keeping a P. Metallica it’s about 1.75in and pretty darn fast even for a pokie
It’s living in a deli cup and currently being help at a locally owned pet shop that specializes in tarantulas and other reptiles and really anything extra you wouldn’t find on YouTube like abnormal behavior or etcWhat advice are you looking for in particular?
and what does the enclosure look like?

I hope and I mean hopefully will pick it up on Friday before the 4th of July but didn’t want to bring it into the hotel I’m currently living in just a bad environment for it. And will send a picture as soon as I get it I watched all of Tom Moran’s videos on them and a couple others I can’t remember the names right now but will tell you if I remember.Post a picture of the enclosure!
and I wouldn’t go to YouTube for info. Unless it’s Tom Moran he’s pretty good.
biggest advice be careful!

Okay sorry I was under the impression you already had it. I was trying to figure out how you are keeping it.Also what do you mean by what is my husbandry like?
I mean if my mom let me get it as a first tarantula I would have been in some deep water but no I had a P. Cambrigei before this and before him I had a T. Vagans. So 3rd tarantula I know I might seem like a newbie but am pretty knowledgeable about T’sOkay sorry I was under the impression you already had it. I was trying to figure out how you are keeping it.
Is this your first tarantula?
Okay well im glad to hear it’s not your first.I mean if my mom let me get it as a first tarantula I would have been in some deep water but no I had a P. Cambrigei before this and before him I had a T. Vagans. So 3rd tarantula I know I might seem like a newbie but am pretty knowledgeable about T’s
okay well if you have had a Psalmopoeus and raised it up, just do the exact same thing with a poecilotheria, but just be more cautious and take some extra measures during all maintenance and rehousing. An escaped Psalmopoeus is not the same thing as an escaped poecilotheria.Yup all the way from a little 1/2in along to a 5 1/2-6in mature male then sent him to breed in Florida. Only one mishap the day I got him when I was giving him a little water he didn’t like it and threat posed then bolted out and into my nasty pair of vans shoes. Other then that no problems after that
Well if you are definitely getting it, you need to have a system for maintenance and rehousingIt was a poki, a chilobrachys sp. or a form of a baboon but I found one of the P. Metallica available for once since I started keeping so I said to my self “screw it im buying the poki” and that’s how it went so wish me luck my friends!!
