Can anyway type how to pronounce Poecilotheria? Or send a link to someone speaking about them? I just always hear them called pokies and would like to know how to say the full name.

I'm pretty sure the word Poecilotheria is derived from "poikilos" (poy-key-loss) a greek word that has no direct english translation, but can be used to describe colourful and "dotted" as in polka dot, and "therion" (th-eh-rye-on) which can be equated to "wild beast".
As such, I imagine the original description was intended to be pronounced "po-eh-key-lo-th-eh-rye-ah"
