Is Poecilotheria metallica the most beautiful spidor?
Is Poecilotheria metallica the most beautiful spidor?
truly
It is!
It's also excruciatingly painful and timid
Yes
It is. It is also very easy to care for and if you can breed can be a lucrative side business. I sell off most slings for about $20 in pots that cost about 30ยข. I keep a few (say 10-20) from every clutch and any females I rear to adulthood, males I sell off (around $60) but for the biggest of each clutch. If I get a clutch where most of the slings I kept turn out female I make like an extra $2-3k that year because an adult female goes for $400 plus.
Pokies are generally the best genus, even the less popular Indian ornamentals go for decent money compared to most other spiders in the trade.
But can its smile melt your heart?
Man I hate / fear spiders with passion but this one is a thing of monstrous beauty.
Weird, I'm terrified of spiders, I scream like a bitch if I see one in my flat. But, tarantulas don't seem as menacing. And the metallic whatever the fuck you call it looks beautiful. But alas, I'll stick to my bearded dragons and scorpions. Just in case.
That's it's natural color? Pretty and amazing.
is it pretty docile? I heard that old worlds are pretty angry bois
I have arachnofobia and yes, that's his true natural color. I think I could even touch it one time.
I'll catch rattlesnakes by hand but scream like a bitch when I find a wolf spider in my bathroom.
I had a pet tarantula once. It got out and spent a couple days loose in the apartment.
I found it in the hall on my way to the bathroom one night. Just about had a stroke.
Bump. More people need to know the beauty of this bitch
>Bright colours signify danger
Don't be a bitch. It's just a blue spidor.
I think Cyclosternum fasciatum is nicer tho
It's a fantastic spidor
Cyriopagopus lividum or bust.
Why do they have a blue coloration?
They drink blue Gatorade
Blue's not a flavor. They drink Blue Blast Gatorade (TM) (R).
Nah nah nah It drank fortnite slurp juice
I wouldn't say they're especially aggressive, more 'skittish'. If you don't scare them they don't get aggy. If you get bit you'll have flu like symptoms for a week and a lot of pain, esp of its by a juvy.
a challenger appears...
Shiiiieeeet! O.G. Spidor right there!
Might I suggest
I'm from Pennsylvania.
The only spider we have that people worry about is the brown recluse.
If your house gets infested. You burn the fucker down. Those things are Increadibly nasty fuckers.
