P. striata male

[Joy]

I've had two of my Poecilotheria striata mature out male in the last couple of weeks. This is what they looked like before . . .

and this is what they look like now. Hey, where did all that pretty striping go?

I see these guys lose as much color as what my P.fasciata when he matured. I guess it does make it a bit safer for their travels to find a female, but it is a big change for us. Great pictures!

It wasn't manly enough? :?


Cool before and after pics, Joy. Good luck finding females for your studs.

He actually is neat looking either way. After the maturing out he does have a lot of reds in him. Do you have any females for him?
