GKarshens Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Wow! That is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmanning Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 WOW!!!! Gorgeous...... didn't know they come in such beautiful colors. So, they come from India...... Do you have to purchase anything special for its diet? And how can you tell a male from female? By the way, I can imagine it was expensive, right? -Cindy- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Oh why, oh why did I click this link??? Nice colors, but still gives me the creeps! In the years I worked at a pet store, I could never pick up the spiders. When people bough them I either had them pick them up or corralled them into a box.

cmanning Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I found this link and some info on that beautiful specimen. Will you later try to attempt in breeding this particular specimen or do you keep them single? http://animal-world.com/encyclo/reptiles/s...lTreeSpider.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaceyJ Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 Well, I breed Blaptica dubai roaches for them to eat. I am an avid breeder of tarantula, and my gooties will be bred as well. to anyone interested, I breed tarantulas, and would be willing to trade babies for coral, or some species I can just give away. And yes, P. metallica is very expensive. I will update with more pictures from my collection later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaceyJ Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) I tried putting it in the format that the gallery image shows them at, but no success.
