        You're welcome! You don't come across this species that often,and it was only recently that I got to see what it looked like!

          Hi Chris.
          What are they like to own?.
          What's the max size they grow to and what enclosure size is best for them.

          Regards.

              She's a friendly spider always out on display never has she used her hide. Eats well a little to well at times and can look a bit tubby.
              As I said under the pic of her she gave me a good hair flicking but thats the only time she has been grumpy.
              At the moment she is in pre-moult so not feeding or doing much.
              I believe they get around 4 to 5.5 inches size wise. So the enclosure would be a min of 3 times her length at adult size.
              There is talk that they may be moved into Aphonopelma sometime in the future.

                Thank you
                Poecilotheria metallica pictures would be good.
                Look forward to seeing them soon.

                    thats a nice clean looking spider Chris, keep her looking like that and i can see her having a good shot at the BTS "best Brachy" in the future.

                      I agree with Colin she looks great.
                      What price do they sell for and what size tank do you keep her in.

                        Thank you Colin and John

                        She is in a Small Faunarium L 24cm x W 16cm x H 17cm
                        I paid £20 for her as a large Juv on 23/6/09.

                          I think I may have found my second t to look out for.
                          I got the whole setup at the bts show for £60 a 12x8x8 clear tank with B.Smithi,water dish,hide.. from house of spiders
                          and I do like the clear tanks.
