Poecilotheria regalis (Indian Ornamental Tarantula)

Known for their speed and potent venom, Poecilotheria regalis sports the raccoon mask face pattern that makes the genus instantly recognizable.

We haven't experienced defensive behavior from ours, but we still maintain a healthy respect for pokies (the common nickname for the Poecilotheria genus).

If this is your first Pokie, get ready to fall in love. Most people don't stop at just one.
