Default A few Pokie pics

First off is Lucy, the regalis that munched a male. She's started to develop the "gravid regalis shape" (2 thirds of the abdomen start to swell up)



Now this one was a surprise for me. Carwash (I guess everyone knows she molted out now) has molted out dark! She has a very vivid purple sheen in normal light too. These pics were taken with the room light on, and the flash from the camera too. It doesnt really give an impression of how dark she is:




I'll try and get some better shots tomorrow. And yes, I will be trying her again, but not for a while though. There are a few things I'm going to change for the next mating.

My female P. Smithi, Aeryn. I love her shades of brown and yellow - reminds me of one of those chocolate and banana chupa chups

Thanks for the kind words guys.

This is my sub adult male P. Smithi, Crichton:



Then we've got one of my P. Subfusca small juvies. They come from the same bloodline as Peter Pastor's, and as such are "Lowland" (even though I believe there is no distinction, in fact both "forms" have been observed coming from the same sac). This one is showing adult colours quite early and I believe is male:


The other one I believe is female:


Next is my sub adult male P. Formosa. I'll be pairing him with Julie's female in the new year:



And then there's my new P. Tigrinawesseli sling. It's far too small to be sure, but I've got my suspicions as to the sex:


One more. The P. Rufilata sub adult I kept, Crystal:

These pics were taken by my girlfriend Julie. My pair of P. Striata are currently residing with her:
