Poecilotheria metallica Tank Set-Ups.

[robc]

So does this particular species spend a lot of time in the open or mostly hidden? I was reading up on them and one source mentioned them being pretty shy when they are little, but juveniles and adults loose that and spend a lot more time in the open. I would definately want to see them out in the open that's for sure.

*What do you folks think of these enclosures? They seem to have good height which is that these T's require? Thanks!

My P. metallica never hides!! I see her more than any other T I have LOL....but my sub-adult males hide at the slightest disturbance..or light!!

Interesting how their attitudes are very. I wonder if it has to do with the sex, or just the individual spider.

Anyways, I am still trying to find an ideal tank size for my future P.Metallica. I haven't bought a spider yet as some of you might have noticed, I might be a little overreacting but I do wanna have all of my research done first.

I took some measurements of my shelving unit and it goes as follows-
13"Width x 15"Depths x 27" Height. This is all the room that I have to play with.
