Mystery poke

Dragoon · 05-31-04, 07:51 AM

Hello.
I was the lucky purchaser of this good-sized pokie from a pet store. No idea on the species. sorry for the bad pic, but you get an idea of the size. No belly band is present, so I think regalis is ruled out, unless they do not have the band at this size?
Could someone help me tell if its P.fasciatum or not? Martin said that was the next most common available pokie.
I'd like to know what label to put on the container, hahaha.
My two P.regalis are named Peek and Boo, this one is Eeek:

Not exactly sure, but looks like <html><i>Poecilotheria fasciata </i></htl> to me. I used to have two of them.

Cheers!

Can you get a shot of the underside? This is by far the most useful diagnostic shot.

Cheers,
