Poecilotheria subfusca "lowland" AF
I’m no expert with pokies but that looks a lot like a highland to me.


I received 2 in a collection and both were labeled lowland. She is lighter in color than a highland. I've owned both. Highland have more "black" coloration all over. She is definitely a lowland. :) I wish she were a highland, lol. I'd definitely trade anyone a lowland female for a highland female if I knew someone that had one.

Ohh, I thought lowland was dark and highland was light, I guess I got them mixed up. Thank you for showing me the difference.

Lowland get bigger than highland and the bold contrast in highland can be easily distinguished from lowland. :) Highland is my favorite pokie! :)

I have both highland and lowland slings and I can’t tell them apart right now because they are so small, so this was very helpful to me.

You won't be able to....even as 3" juveniles they look similar to each other...

I love the poecilotheria genus and have almost all of the species in the genus, but I have to say the classic regalis beets all of them in my opinion.
