    Advice needed on poecilotheria metalica

    Sorry about a very long delay but my life has been chaotic and busy with very little down time but I suggest pokies as long as you're ready to deal with lightning speeds lol.. I've switched over to only pokies after I got over the fear of the speed.. and trust me the regalia doesn't slow down in...

    had to annoy my regalis :/

    As the title suggests I think my regalis is rather annoyed with me.. I hadn't seen it in nearly 2 months and I see my fasciata frequently so I figured the worst had happened.. I removed the hide and let's just say the regalis is amazing at hide and seek.. 2 months is dedication! But anyways the...

    Some infos...

    Has anyone else noticed the price drop?

    Maybe it's only in the US? Maybe it's only on the pokies? But I have looked at 3 different vendors and have noticed pokies are getting cheaper. The average regalis went from $40 to $20 average fasciata went from $40 to $25 and metallica went from $120 average to $90-$95 across the three...

    Did I blow it?

    lol years ago (I'm guessing 8 or 9 years ago) I had a hamster escape from it's cage one of it's tunnels came loose and the next day I saw it coming out of the closet and both cheeks were tube shaped.. I thought it developed some nasty tumors or something so I cautiously returner her to the cage...
