some old shots of a few of my Ts...

after my big tank crashed, and i sold off the rest of my fish collection, i used a lot of my 'fish money' to add to my invert collection. im up to 33 Ts, 2 liphistius sp., 2 scorps and a vinegaroon. and a b.lateralis colony.

im adding a couple e.cyanognathus and p.platyomma to my collection this week

33 Ts and only 4 pics... lets see 'em all!
Mike C is the first and second T the same species?
Are the Poecilotheria species aggressive? Poecilotheria regalis is my favourite, although I'm sure a lot of people prefer metallica. I've heard they don't have nice venom though.

Cool arachnids. I keep an old Chilean Rose. Pics sometime soon.

how big is that irminia? i need to get a pic of my female, she molted a few weeks ago. easily my favorite species, that whole genus is awsome (just got a p.pulcher!).

nice h.mac too, been meaning to add one to the collection

The irminia is about 4.5-5". I have thought about trying to get all the psalmopoeus spp. They are awsome. And about the H. mac...That was the one I didn't want to sell, but I need to make room for a few display tanks (getting Cryiopagopus sp. "singapore blue" soon).

Yeah, I like all the pokies... but like you said P. metallica is really nice to look at... and blue sells. And your right about the bite... you don't want to get bit by a peocilotheria(PERIOD). I never been hit by one, but I have read enough reports for me to not take the chance.
