    Very stylish, blue & yellow leg markings! Don't know what gender this is, I've only kept one tarantula before & seen a few in the wild (all natives to desert south-
    west), & in those, the gender was really obvious...the males had a very small body, while the previously-captive female I was given had a body that was the size of
    a ping-pong ball, an obvious female. (In these photos, there's not much for size reference either.) Why didn't you ask the source about the gender?

    Female is correct, as males grow they do not have that dominant white stripe down the back of the abdomen I have three different Pokies two female and one mature male

    Don’t believe everything you hear, Poecilotheria Metallica is the true name(scientific name) their general name is Goody Sapphire. Endangered yes, BUT it doesn’t account for the hobby. So it’s the wild types they are referring to being endangered.
