Good news is I got my computer to work (It seems to turn on when it feels like it and does a start up repair then then magically works until I shut it off or it goes into sleep mode.) Bad news is my pics came out crappy but they are better then nothing. I will try to take better ones at some point.
Megaphobema mesomelas molt:
Megaphobema mesomelas female confirmation:
No new pics of her though as she is in her hide and still hardening up. I can see that it looks like she is finally starting to get her adult coloring and not the colors in the molt pictured
Pocilotheria ornata (all the pics came out horrible so I picked a couple of the best ones):
And like I said I will be getting a Poecilotheria metallica and Poecilotheria rufilata also in a coule weeks. Might add a Poecilotheria tigrinawesseli to that order also if I can. All of those are between 2-3" or so I believe. This should be my last T shipment for awhile until the weather gets nice again next year. I will post pics when I get them (hopefully better pics then these ones)

Metallica slings were my FIRST pokies and my first old world tarantulas for that matter that I ever worked with. I personally did not have a single problem. I did a lot of reading on them (bite reports and anything I could) and watched a ton of videos before hand. I had worked with lots of other tarantulas befor I got them though (just not Old Worlds).
