In honour of the opening of the new photo forum, here are some pics of my only Poecilotheria, my P. ornata Pokie

The full size version of this one makes a great wallpaper:

P. formosa is a good "beginner's poke" not very aggressive, almost handleable, easy to keep, affordable, and absolutely beautiful with those regular black bands ;-)

Other calm pokes are P. smithi and P. subfusca, but they can be harder to maintain and are not exactly what I would consider affordable LOL ;-)

[pandinus]

wow, that P. metallica is stunning! i know i will regret this, but how much do they cost?

 

[Raindog]

I believe they are currently around $250 - $300.

 

[pandinus]

for an adult, or a sling?

 

[Raindog]

Thats for a sling, I haven't seen any adults offered yet.

 

[pandinus]

holy <poopies>!! why so pricey?!!!

 

[Raindog]

They are fairly rare in the hobby right now, and quite lovely.
