Love the concept of these videos but I think it's the first time I've seen a chalkboard since elementary school, lol. Powerpoint man, it's the coolest thing for presentations.

@candyraver69

I know, but as I'm in university to be a high school teacher, so got to fit in

why is P smithi cheaper? then P metallica?? if SMithi is rareR?

[Jon3800]

@ultum4tegunz

if you know basic economy, the more demand for the species but less supply, the more expensive it will be..

In layman's terms P.metallica, as you probably KNOW, are incredibly high in demand because of the blue color, hence more people want them which jacks up price.

P.smithi is rarer and not enough demand hence cheaper.  ALSO, factor in how many a dealer imports the same species. If you're importing 10 P.smithi, they'll be $170 each, if you only had 2, then it will be $300

what size do P regalis get that band?? do males and females both get it?

[Jon3800]

@ultum4tegunz

or fasciata if the carapace/abdomen has a different pattern. Just have a look at the video, it's the BEST video you will ever find on any internet site or even the T bible book about deciphering pokies. Paul mixed up your T because he's now in serious trouble. If you haven't heard already from Arachnoboards and Google searches, Paul has been caught smuggling Ts. There's court documents stating them.

Great Jon..you made me look into arboreals :D could you please make a mythbuster vid on the Avic avic?

[Jon3800]

@ultum4tegunz

the band gets fully developed at the 2.5-3'' mark. Both male and female have this. If you need confirmation check the May 8th P.regalis mating attempt video I suggested to you earlier.

[ultum4tegunz]

LOL its cool I got 10 P regalis off Rob C very cheap good deal he hooked me up, very cool little baby pokies

[candyraver69]

@Jon3800 just had to tease ya, your writing really does remind me of some of my old professors and my own (nobody can read it), but hey that's a sign of intelligence, right? That's what my dad always told me anyways. :P

I do love the vids. Amazing collection I am noticing as I watched more and more of them. Enough to make any T enthusiast jealous. I need to post a vid of mine someday, though my collection is pathetic next to yours. Glad I happened across your channel :)

[ultum4tegunz]

I Plan on buying 8 baby P regalis off ROb C.. gunna order em soon ^& get my Roaches!! cant wait!!! 8 is definitly enough for a female... i wont get 10 because that is truly OVERKILL!!!! awsome Pokie.. sucks Pual Becker SENT ME a P STRIATA,... its a FEMALE thankfully..ordered P regalis off him though

[Jon3800]

@ultum4tegunz

You don't know all your pokies? You know me for more than 2 years now. I guess I didn't do a good job teaching you then :(

I made at one specific detailing vid covering every single pokies species in the hobby (watch?v=pJY6LRHL0jA), yes even the rare hanumavilasumica. I highly suggest watching it, because you have given me no info on if your specimen has yellow warning legs. Could be striata (if the carapace is dark), pederseni (if no yellow legs)

[ultum4tegunz]

@Jon3800 what other T looks exactly like regalis without the band? my T is 4.5-5" yet looks female and has no band??? I ordered from PUal becker he must have mixed that T up or something. O well P regalis is cheapest pokie there is. so not much of a big deal i guess.
