Poecilotheria metallica

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. Thanks for entrusting me with them Roy. hope we can get a sac from them.

The female, sub adult. me and Roy went halves on this lady to make sure his male didn't go to waste.


The MM. Roy's (young_gun) handsome lad

You aint had me chasing you yet then lol

WOW, The both of them are stunners
I would love one of these but i have to wait until i get alot of money lol.
Good luck breeding these both ! We need some cb slings in the hobby

"WHEN" you get an egg sack and "WHEN" the slings are ready to be sold on put me down for a couple. Lets say "WHEN" not "IF" and fingers X'd all round for a successful breeding

We are feeling confident, not that that counts for much with this sp. lol we have had a good year so far with 2 spids about to drop sacs and 6(+?) scorpions due any day now.

But do not worry about price, I assure you they wont be anywhere near the 80-90 euro mark that they are going for atm. try halving that price
But they will be limited to two per person to stop people buying loads and selling them at the higher rate. we thought this way would be fairer on everyone


anyway female met has webbed the start of a burrow behind her corkbark which is nice to see she is making herself at home

Mating the P.rufilata this weekend so getting some practise in If the fasciata sheds soon as well that will be another practise run.

As the Mrs said , they will be cheaper than most people , because we are in this hobby for the love of the spiders not for any financial gain, if we were it would not be a hobby , it would be a business. And I for one do not like greed !!!

Yup, thats exactly why we are doing this project together an have more in the pipeline to help stop the elitism an massive prices on certain sp.
