Genus Poecilotheria

[Dark Raptor]

Ok. I posted some of these pics earlier but this is the best thread for them.

My Poecilotheria regalis.

This photo was taken in August. Bodylenght 1,5 cm.

The same specimen, but pics taken in October. Just after molting (now bodylenght 4 cm).

As You see, they grow really fast!

Patience I have found them to be somewhat slow growers compared to the rest of the Genus.

Maybe they grow as fast as the others, but It still seems to be too slow, because it is soo beautiful and you want it to be adult so much ...

And here he is... shipping today and ready for action. I showed him the pic of the female and he's in love, but I warned him about the ornata man-eating tendency. As long as he dies happy

 

[Palespider]

He shouldn't worry. She's only eaten two males so far... ;P

But they were impotent old men that had been mature for over a year and were housed together in a last desperate attempt to mate them.


And beautiful pic Michael, as always.

Well she just reached this size with this most recent molt... I'm gonna wait for another couple molts before really measuring her.

Not yet My male molted 2 weeks ago and are now around 11-12cm legspan. Hoping he will mature with his next molt.
