Hey!!
Thinking about getting my first pokie. Would love a metallica but don't want to spend that much without knowing that I can keep a pokie successfully first! lol!! So, I was browsing the pokie picture thread and saw a bunch of gorgeous pokies and decided that I would like to get the one that has the most purple to it. Just when I decided on one, I saw another with more purple and now I'm just so confused, I need help! :D Which pokie is the purple-est????
Thanks!!!

I know that female P. formosa get quite a bit of purple on them, but I think your best bet would be a female P. ornata.

Wow, I didn't know P. subfusca got that purple. That's the highland form, right? (I'm terrible at telling the difference between the highland and lowland subfusca)

Man, just went and looked at a few prices...why do all the pretty ones have to be so expensive??? At those prices, might as well throw in a metallica too!!! lol!!!! Maybe I need the SECOND most purple-est!!! lol!! :D

Cass, I think I might go with the formosa......if I can find one! LOL!!!!

You can find some slings at a fairly reasonable price... They are well worth it. They are easily my favorite pokies! Here is a pic of my girl...

I also love P. formosa. I'd have to agree and say they're my favourite pokie as well. I'm going to be picking up a few more...ours is a male, which is fine and dandy, but I'd like a nice female to have around for a while.

PS: She is gorgeous, Gary! I'm quite envious.

I'm gonna get all confused with the highland/lowland stuff now too lol!!! Purple is my favorite color, it will be fun to have a purple-ish T! I have a T. purpureus but it's not very purple yet! :D

Subfusca, and thanks! There is alot of unknown's with the highland lowland thing. Some say they are different species while other say they are not and have had both color forms from the same egg sack. I'm hoping to find the later out on my own ;)

Wow, yes I obviously got mixed up in the whole formosa/subfusca chatter.

I thought that it was just a weird looking formosa. Now I know why I thought it was weird looking.

Looks like I should also be looking into buying a P. subfusca - even though Mackenzie has been talking about getting one for a billion years now (slight exaggeration).
