Yes they are extremely skittish, thats how they came to be on my hands. I was separating them at the time. Its total chaos separating a few hundred pokies. First photo above is a ornata. The second photo is a vittata.
Same here. Mine is only about 1.5” right now if that. It’ll grow tho I love raising them from slings. All my T’s I got as little slings.
I want a vitatta so bad and a regalis too but the vitatta is at top my list right now to get ahold of.
That would be a pleasant surprise as I'd love to have Stevie around for as long as possible but based off of the last few molts I'm pretty confident they're a Steve instead of a Stevette. They've had two molts already since that picture too and still no signs of spermathecae on any of them and they're pretty good-sized now. :/That's a male? Just wondering because dorsally it looks female to me. Of course, I could be wrong but all my males maintained a prominent dorsal stripe throughout molting into the ultimate molt. Beautiful spider!
They're definitely not as large as that picture makes them look, my new phone camera is just really good at zoom pictures lol. That particular cork bark is maybe 3-4 inches wide at max. I can't say for sure how big they are now as they haven't emerged after their last molt yet, just opened their door and chucked out their old clothes.
I believe I have a female P. Metallica, because of some suspected stray eggs on her enclosure walls.
