P. metallica - Trip

Beauty

Going to molt soon?

It's looking like it. Yesterday she was late coming out of hiding and I wondered if she was moulting but then she appeared and I got this photo.

@Enn49 I''m still completely new to this hobby, and this is one I'd really love to own one day. They're gorgeous!

@Crecious She was only my 2nd T, so I was new too but I've had her from a sling and for a pokie she's never given any problems although she can be fast when she wants.

@Enn49 Costa Rica isn't known for having tarantula breeders, or vendors as far as I know, so I have been trying to catch a lovely C. Fasicatum that my buddy estimates might be almost 10 years old. She's a gorgeous mother.
I don't know if I'll ever have a P. Metallica. too much money for me, and I don't know how i'd ever get one.

Can you not get them shipped from the States?

@Enn49 Shipping I believe would either be too expensive, or they'd arrive dead, usually takes two weeks for packages to arrive.

@Crecious Ah, that's not good. C. Fasicatum are great looking Ts but they are now called Davus pentaloris as they've just reclassified them.

@Enn49 Oh. Well, I only just learned the old name xD Dammit
Yeah, there was a gorgeous female on my wall that I should have nabbed.
But I wasn't thinking because at the time I was like. "Spiders as pets? I like spiders, but not as pets." Then suddenly the next day, boom. There's a little boy, and I grabbed him.
