This is another occupant of the travelling gems that I recieved yesterday. It is to say the least, very quick and skittish. The 1.25 designates it's current size.

Yeah, you don't really want to get bit by that thing when it gets older (not that you don't want to get bit now but sitll). RobC has a bit report on P. regalis on his youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/tarantulaguy1976

Love 'em more when they're full grown and have all their colors and markings though.

Fortunate are those that have that stunning P. metallica that seems to be only available in Europe.

There's a few folks stateside working on breeding them. Lori had a juvenile and sold it when it turned out to be male, and we have a friend in town with a few juvies. At one point there was a guy in our vicinity who mostly breeds pokies and brachys -- I think he had P. metallica as well.
