This is one of the more commonly bred Poecilotheria species requiring the same care as other species in the genus. Poecilotheria striata can be distinguished by the presence of yellowish transverse bands on the legs. The cephalothorax has a wide pale edge with the central part being black aside from a Y-shaped marking around the foveal groove and a pale patch behind the ocular tubercle.
