Poecilotheria spp.

[Tarcan]

Hi everyone,

Since you all seemed to like the pictures of the P. rufilata and
P. ornata, I decided to post some more.

Starting with a young female P. regalis.

Enjoy

Next is my huge mature female P. fasciata

[Tarcan]

Next is my female P. formosa.

[Tarcan]

This is the ventral vue of the same female P. formosa

Note that P. formosa does not have bright yellow under the legs... it is more an creamy ivory colour.

[Tarcan]

Next is a rarer one, a small P. subfusca.

[Tarcan]

OK, time to take out the big guns!

Here is my female P. smithi, possibly the rarest Poecilotheria spp. of all...

She is very secretive, so I had trouble getting a good pic of her...

[Tarcan]

OK, last but certainly not least... the most sought after species of theraphosid in the hobby...

P. metallica, I hope those pictures turn out not too bad... this is truly an amzing species...

Here is one of my small females

[Tarcan]

And another female of mine...

[Edwin]

wow, those are some nice t's...

[Tim and Julie B]

Wow. Those are great. I have to get more!

[Cooper]

Oh man, p. smithi!!!! How on earth did you get that! Listen, you have to post these on arachnoboards.com , but be warned, people will want to kill you!!!!

[Dani33]

Amazing as usual!

:jawdrop: Gorgeous!!

[Tarcan]

Thank you everyone, I am glad you appreciated... Poecilotheria spp. are very interesting animals...

LOL, Cooper, maybe I should get a life insurance for having a P. smithi!

There are already pictures of P. smithi on the arachnoboard, that is why I have not bothered even if they are extremely rare...

As far as where on earth I got it, let's just say that getting rare animals is sometimes a lot of digging and working hard on the right contacts...

Take care

Martin

Hot damn! Nice pokes Martin! Great collection! :)

[Tarcan]

Here are a few pics of my freshly molted P. subfusca, I hope those do her better justice then the previous...

[Tarcan]

And another one...

[Tarcan]

Some new P. metallica pics as well... let me know if you had enough...

[Tarcan]

Those animals cannot stop moving, I am having a hard time capturing the blue...

[Tarcan]

Time to put some more pics...

[Tarcan]

Another one...

[Tarcan]

Last one for tonight...

[Colonel SB]

Where did you get metallica?

[Tarcan]

I imported them... I was the first one to get them in Canada... a month after, one of my buddies also imported a few...

[Dani33]

It is sooo beautiful! The colouration is awesome. I am soooo jealous. You must spend soo much time with them. Not just caring for them, but observing them. A couple of times a day I go into my herp room and just look at them. Very interesting creatures. I love watching them groom themselves! I am sooo happy and feel priviledged to have them. I wish that I could come and ogle your collection! Ha ha, if I ever did, you would have a hard time getting me to leave! Keep up with the pics - I love em. Thanx!

Dani, if you ever drive up here, just drop by... but reserve a full day!LOL

I am glad you enjoy the inverts...

Take care

[Dani33]

I just read another post that reminds me to thank you for the time you took to post great answers when I was deciding to choose my T's. It was incredibly helpful. Just thought that you should know that. It's people who take the time that make this site so awesome.

:eek: Holy Poecilotheria spp., Martin!! They are gorgeous!!
I must say that I like the P. subfusca the most :) Soo pretty.. *drool*

[Tarcan]

Indeed Emily, P. subfusca has to be one of the most beautiful of them all... even though P. metallica is very hyped and is the most stunning, I have a sweete spot for P. subfusca... and they are so hard to find...
