[QUOTE="Nicolas C, post: 67996, member: 3795"] Phil, yours could be very well be a mature male: all your clues indicate it. Poecilotheria lack tibial spurs, but have the emboli. Try to post a picture of the underside of the pedipalps as soon as possible to be sure. To answer your questions: A) yes B) could be, but some males drum even when no females are in proximity C) no, as far as I know... D) not all, some drum, some shake and drum (or only shake), some touch with pedipalps, it all depends. But the Poecilotheria's drumming is particularly loud and obvious. Like a good Keith Moon solo when females were around...! [/QUOTE]
