The P. regalis is a close second to Avicularia avicularia as the best known and most kept arboreal species. It’s difficult to debate, as they’re white, grey, black and those lemon yellow threat colors. Yes, they want to kill you if you see them, so whatever you’re doing, knock it off and go annoy an Avicularia. Large size of 8″, heavily bodied, elegant almost seamless movements, and one of the ultimate display animals. They’re also abnormally tolerant of temperature and humidity extremes, hence them being found in varying Indian locales. Though, 72-82 with humidity of 65% is fine. As mentioned above, they are not fond of humans and will bite, so just don’t do it.
