General info:This is one of the most sought after arboreal species and is a jewel in the trade. Their size and coloration make them an excellent ‘show’ tarantula. Striking bright blue, yellow, and white markings always draw much attention to this beautiful species.  This is a very fast, sometimes defensive tarantula that has strong venom. For that reason, some experience is advised before adding an adult P. metallica to your collection.
