Species Poecilotheria metallica

[MRL]

vials work for me so.... I'd say you're fine

the sling is 1" in size. The size of the container me the specs given to me buy Todd (whom i bought it from) and the size of the holes are what he said too, so Im pretty sure it will be ok. But when making them some came out slightly larger than i planned so Im putting it into a small KK incase of escapes for the first week just to be safe.

For clarification the holes were made with a heated sewing needle my mom had.

The little beta tanks work nice but you do need to secure the top as they come off very easy, I use a large rubber band for that... Greg

I use the beta tanks all time, they are great..here is a link to a couple of pictures of the beta's that I use...

This is what I use for my metallica and a few other T's... Greg

 

[Midnightrdr456]

That has to be the largest salt shacker I have ever seen. :?

 

[Midnightrdr456]

yea believe me i thought the same thing, its incredibly large and ugly for real use, but looks quite nice as a terrarium with the green lol. Also I was thinking the top would most likely be a little hiding place kinda since its not clear so maybe it will help it feel a little safe.

Ok well I received it last friday. I had to wait a while b/c it had to molt and then rest up before shipping. Since getting it she (hoping) has already taken a cricket so its eating well in my care. These are the two good photos i was able to get out of the many i tried taking. Its tough to photograph such a speedy little devil heh.

Hope you enjoy. It is currently about .75" or so (hard to get a good measurement at this size.

awesome!! mine looks about 2-3moults ahead of yours and just now show some real blue.these grow very quick indeed,mines currently going around 20-25days between moults.Last moult he only had time for 1-2 crix and then he stopped again to moult.Crazy little things too.

 

[Midnightrdr456]

yea this one is TINY compared to my Versi and i dont worry about it at all, my Versi seems to be hanging on a thread its whole life. Ive had it about a month and only seen it eat once. Granted I know this isnt always something to worry about but I cant help it ya know lol. This little one is just bringing me nothing but pleasure

 

[MRL]

It'll be more than tiny in no time.
Awesome, you really got the blue to show well for it's size.

 

[Midnightrdr456]

thanks, this is my first pokie....ive been dieing for a pokie and this will be my last T for at least 2 years (no more room in my apartment at college) so I had to make it count lol. Plus my rents bought it for me for my 21st b-day (otherwise I wouldnt have gotten it lol)

 

[Scolopendra55]

I want a metallica so bad!!

 

[Midnightrdr456]

Im really hoping for a female but im thinking if its a male Im going to contact some breeder and try a breeding loan. All i really want from a sac is like 3 slings to try and get a female lol, figure leave the selling for $$ to those that do it for income and are experienced. But i would much rather just have it be a female lol. Keep your fingers crossed for me, only like 8months till i can tell lol.

 

[stooka]

i like you wiv my fingers crossed with each moult so i can sex it,mine has a habit of destroying the skin before i can get too it wich is real annoying but as its getting bigger i got more chance of sexing it.I tell myself its male so i wont be as dissapointed if it is and exstatic if it aint.mines called "TED"
