yeah shes over 7, her last molt was 7 inches. I got a video of her molt and measurement on my youtube. Im a little biased but trying not to be but ive never seen a regalis as vivid and strikingly contrasted as her. I have another adult female regalis and her colors are nowhere near this girls. Her last molt was 8 months ago too.

Since you mentioned it, I assume this pic is not photoshopped some to make the colors more vivid? It's a great looking regalis - for sure! I'd love to get a Poeci, but although I get along fine with my Psalms so far, I am reluctant about those ...

I dont know how old she is I got her when she was 2.5-3 inches and that was about 3 years ago.

I was sooooo thankful she was calm. She did bolt tho for a sec but nothing too bad. Just glad I gave myself and her some room haha.

Yeah - probably the best idea when dealing with very fast, quite potent species. Heck, I went to the bathroom when I rehoused my irminia today. Went fine though :)

Misc. P. Regalis Stuff

Projecht13 - Your Regalis has striking colors!!!

Having to move Pokies can be pretty intense when you have to do it over and over again. What bugs me is how unpredictable they can be. My girlfriend was bitten last week three times by a decent sized juvie. She had to pack a dozen of them up for shipping and number ten crawled directly under her shirt. It's somewhere around here.... usually I find the runaways about four weeks later. They're always much bigger after catching all the stray crickets. Still... I love pokies! Im attaching a good sized Pederseni that should be hatching some more escape artists soon.

I was TRYING to get my post count up LOL. It failed... She was in her tub that I got her in, in the first photo, then an upturned breeder keeper, now she is in a actual arboreal cage.
