Species Poecilotheria metallica

[SilentMercury]

You confuse me Frylock All 4 are P. metallicas, 1 is certain female and the other 3 are about 4 months behind her so I am not 100% on the sex. I think I have a male in there somewhere, possibly two after close examination between the lungs, but I prefer to wait until I get a larger skin to examine. Since this a picture thread here is a recent one. This is why I prefer cleaning tarantula enclosures on an open floor.

beautiful tarantula!....i had a chance to get a 3-1/2" female for $250 but couldn't come up with the money....my loss, someone else's gain....

And that was in the USA? $250 typically doesnt cover the Retail price on a spiderling....Confirmed female eh? Truly amazing since I wouldnt sell my female for less than $600, MAYBE $500....
