New giant poecilotheria discovered?

I hope no one has already posted this, with work I can't always keep up.

How cool is this? I wonder if it will make it's way into the hobby and if so how long it will take?

Love how the title says "poisonous" :rolleyes: I don't think I'd be eating one to find out.

I doubt I'll ever own a T, but that thing is gorgeous!

And apparently face-sized. This is an actual exact measurement.

Omg lol screw that so hard, especially not THESE ones, pokies scare me a bit. It's the way they move and knowing how venomous they are. They just seem like something that would bite you lol.

When I read "face-sized" I just imagined it on MY face. Thank you for posting this, and ruining my night. Now I must go change pants.

:P

I want a pokie so bad! A face sized spider would be so epic

Call your fwb, lol. ;)

So, are these bigger than Birdeaters then? Up until now, Goliath Birdeaters have been the biggest. It seems like these might give the Birdeaters a run for their money. I do hope they can classify them as endangered, maybe get some effort to preserve them. Love how the title has now been changed to venemous. :P
