So I did a thing.....

As you all know I posted a while back about the P. Metallica well lo and behold I present to you Mittens 🤣

This will be his progression thread. And I’m both ecstatic and horrified . He’s from a breeder out here in Orlando. A big thanks to The Exotic Kingdom!

A spider well congratulations (checks around that one isn't sneaking up) how big will Mittens grow?

6-8 inches in length and they’re fast growing from what I’ve read. I’m lucky to live down the street from the hospital 🤣 I’m taking every precaution to NEVER be bitten by one of these guys.

Don't they also kick their hairs into your eyes? You are much braver than I am

Actually this species is an Old World so it’s not the hairs that you need to worry about (although I don’t think they kick hairs) it’s their venom. It’s not lethal but from accounts I’ve read it will make you wish you would.

My son wants one. Told him when he moves out he can have whatever he wants. He said you wouldnt ever come to visit. Yes I would just don't put it on me. Lol

Yup, not for me!

However, I'll enjoy watching your progression thread from here

Placing it in the enclosure was the scariest thing I have EVER done. Talk about facing your fears ☠️
