pokies on a stick

[chris 71]

i took these pictures to show the difference between male and female p.ornata neither of these two spiders have been sexed but i think there sex is pretty obvious they are siblings and iam not 100% sure but i think there 5th instar but they could be 6th as i didn't keep records but iam leaning towards 5th
first the thought to be male

and know the female

and here's one more i liked

Absolutely gorgeous pokies! I need to take mine out and take some pictures like that. Great job!


Side Question: Is it me, or does Poecilotheria rufilata and Poecilotheria ornata look alot alike?

Very nice pics... You gave me some ideas, my critter room is right outside and I could easliy take pics of them outdoors except my tree in the back yard is like 4 stories tall :wall: .

i just dug a hole and buried a large branch in the ground and then place them on it its really pretty easy and when its time to catch them again i just scoot them down to the ground and catch them in the grass where they can't move very well its like they are swimming in the grass and very easy to catch them
