New! P. metallica, subfusca, regalis; OBT; X. immanis; M. mesomelas
I got in some new T's today for father's day :salute:
Poecilotheria metallica

Poecilotheria subfusca (absolutely love this T and it looks like a girl)
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...2/c2e3ee05.jpg
Poecilotheria regalis (looks like a female also)

Megaphobema mesomelas # 2

Xenesthis immanis (It's like 4" unsexed but not sure what it's looking like. I have a ventral shot pic I took but I need to compare it with others as these can be tricky I heard. Almost all the hair on her abdomen came off durring shipping. Hate it when that happens.)

Pterinochilus murinus (OBT. Hard getting a pic of him/her since all it wanted to do was do laps around the container. Very cool T though!)

I absolutely love the P. subfusca and that was the calmest of all the pokies I got in today. Very much looking forward to picking up the Poecilotheria bara (the lowland form of the subfusca, it's lighter in color and very pretty also). I hope everyone likes my new T's and the pics (the best i could do with them any ways - lol). Thanks for looking :salute:

Thanks!!! The mesomelas are drop dead gorgeous as adults IMO!!! This big immanis I just got I am thinking is male but that's ok because I got a good deal on it and the males are very pretty as adults. I can always pick up another down the road if it is indeed a male. I need to check the next molt it has. The OBT's are really pretty!!! And as long as your prepared for the quickness spazziness and defensiveness then you should really enjoy one :D
Here is a ventral shot of my new one just for you to see since you have one also:

Edit: Measured the immanis and it is 3", think I said 4" in my first post...

I love the spazzy spiders! :P chill ones are nice, but the jumpy defensive ones are more exciting lol. Thanks for the pic, and it makes me think male too, but I suck at ventral sexing. I'm still waiting on a molt from mine... :/

Congrats on new addictions :gj::gj::gj:
The Poecilotheria genus all have a medically significant bite and are considered to be one of the most dangerous and worse bites you can get from a tarantula. Now there is an Avicularia metallica that is no where near as venomus as a Poecilotheria metallica and is also pretty calm. Not as beautiful as the P. metallica (and nooooooo where near as pricey) but a VERY beautiful T in its own right :D

This X. immanis is actually pretty chill compared to my other two, not sure why? Not complaining either though. But the P. metallica I just got is a super spaz while the other two I had were really laid back. I guess it just shows how each tarantula has it's own personality and not all are the same. Luckily the males or the X. immanis are so much prettier then the females so if it is male then all is definitely not lost. Just means I need to pick up another one some time down the road to try to get a female :D I will definitely check the molt though too see what it is because they can be tricky to sex ventrally. But I am happy if it is a male :gj:
