Poecilotheria Regalis, Indian Ornamental.

My only Poekie, my only Old World, my only tarantula that poses any risk, though death is nowhere near included in that. Tarantulas are not lethal. Poecilotheria is lightning fast, with speed equivalent to teleportation. They are much more likely to escape than bite, especially my individual in specific, which I bought purely because she is who she is. The perfect size for a first Poekie, big enough not to easily lose, but not big enough that a bite would harness much damage. She's only ever come in brief contact with my skin, which she is immensely sensitive to, once. And ever touching her is a very rare occasion. They're Ornamental for a reason.

Negative remarks are needless and rude, and aggression will be greeted with immediate defensiveness, or deleted upon receiving.
