Poecilotheria fasciata - Female

 

[spideyspinneret78]

Sterling (P. regalis). I'm always stunned by his amazing camouflage. True to the Greek translation of Poecilotheria, he really is a regal spotted beast.

Poecilotheria vittata



Caught one of my vittata slings our wandering so I snapped a quick picture. I can’t wait for these to grow and mature.

Since he was surprisingly relaxed during rehouse, I managed to take some photos.

Poecilotheria subfusca (sp. "highland")
Adult Female

 

[spideyspinneret78]

I welcomed this beautiful girl into my collection a few days ago, and I just can't get over how stunning she is. In my mind she's the holy grail of tarantulas. Meet Nightshade, P. miranda. Unfortunately all I have is a cell phone camera, but I'm still in awe.

[DaveOB]

One of my metallica slings after its recent moult, and about 50mm DLS. It had a missing pedipalp when it arrived, but you can see it's regenerating nicely and I expect it to be full-sized after one more moult.

Isn't that just amazing? I had a sling regrow a leg.

This one has just molted again, and as anticipated, its pedipalp is now back to full size.
