Yeah, I got mine from BugzUK That guy is great to deal with and he answers his emails pretty fast

Wicked T man!

Molted today!
The old skin/exoskeleton was exactly 9 cm. I think she grew alot, looks like she grew by 2 cm

Will post pictures when she's hardened

Been lousy with pictures. Need to get a freakin camera!!

Anyway, I'm getting a new female p. metallica adult this weekend! Cant wait!
Here's the enclosure:) (It's cooler than it looks on picture!)

That's a nice looking enclosure, Scorpeace.

Thanks
Its way cooler in real life tho!

My juvenile p. metallica molted just now and YES IT WAS A FEMALE!
She actually grew by over 2cm from the last molt! Almost 1"!

Here is a picture i took throught the microscope to show that the spermathecae is very easy to see:

Btw, as some of you might see, she's not juvenile anymore, shes a mature female ready for breeding in one month. Whats better is that i got one more mature female today! SUCH A BEAUTY! Whats even better than that, IM GETTING A MATURE MALE NEXT WEEK!!!

Awesome! Good luck breeding them.

Thanks!

Here is a bad picture of her... The pictures does NOT do her colors any justice.. Oh well



If i get some slings, maybe i'll be able to buy e better camera ^^


Might aswell throw in a pic of one of my t. blondiis i bought as a sling 9 months ago



They grow FAST, it's like 8 cm in legspan now give or take.

Nice pics! How big is the T. blondi?

I said 8 cm, but I measured her now and it's actually 9,5

Yeah, I realized you said 8 cm right after I posted. Oh well, at least you updated the size of her, so I don't look completely stupid.

Dodged a bullet there,

A mature male p. metallica came today so now i have 1.2 mature p. metallicas Let the breeding begin!!

Male


#8 Female


#49 Female

Awesome! Good luck breeding them.

Good luck with the breeding!

Thanks guys! They are hard to breed but I have talked to some people who have bred them before so I have alot of pointers If I manage this I will be the 2. person to breed metallicas in Norway
