All 3 of my P. metallica slings molted last week... here's a couple pics of one of them enjoying it's first post-molt meal... around 1.25".

The third pic is of a 3.5" P. ornata .

Hello,

after a while I am posting next pictures of Poecilotherias from my collection. Enjoy mature male of Poecilotheria miranda. I have 2 of them right now, and they are leaving tomorrow to Ray Gabriel and Jean Michel Verdez on breeding loan. Hope there will be some succesful result in it... :eek:) Keep your fingers crossed, please.

Best regards,
Peter

Here is a mature male P. subfusca of mine leaving for the old continent probably next week...

Thanks, Tarcan.

I have 2 mature males of Poecilotheria subfusca too right now. One of my 2 adult females is mated already, I will try second a little bit later. Both females produced eggsacs last year, so I believe in the same result now too.

I will post some pictures later too...

Peter

So, females also have some blue?
And that blue disappears with maturity??

I'll try with the last molt but I can't promise anything as it must be completely dry now. Want me to send it to you?
