Poecilotheria thread

[Nicola Dolby]

Here goes, this is (hopefully) the start of a Poecilotheria appreciation thread. Love to see all Poecilotheria pictures, one of the most beautiful family of tarantulas there is:

To start with, here's a juvenile male P. metallica. This is the first tarantula I ever owned, sadly although he matured he passed away a couple of years ago due to dyskenetic syndrome. Tony, you're sorely missed.


Here's one of my adult female P. pedersenis, cute little fluffs!

And a male


An adult male P. striata, beautiful colours!


A mature male P. rufilata

And here is a female!


This is an adult female P. miranda, not the largest but (in my opinion) the most beautiful and striking of the lot!


An adult female P. formosa


Finally an adult female P. subfusca


Enjoy!!

*********************************

I love scorpions, I love pokies as well. there is nothing the beats the feeling of looking down upon something so beautiful.

But for the first time in 10 years in the hobby I can only say I was awestruck. Words simply cannot describe what it is like to open a box and cast your eyes upon one of the most beautiful tarantula's I have ever seen.

The female, sub adult. me and Roy went halves on this lady to make sure his male didn't go to waste. With a bit of luck she will mature soon and we can get things moving
