Poecilotheria fasciata (Sri Lankan Ornamental) Mating

This is a gorgeous spider, fast, colorful and such attitude!

Playfully called 'Pokies' by those that keep them, and those should only be keepers that have kept other old-world spiders as this is a quick and aggressive spider.

First described by Latreille in 1804 in its native habitat in Sri-Lanka (thick tropical forest) they are known locally as 'Tree Spiders'.
