Poecilotheria spp.

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

Martin

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.

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...

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

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
