They start to blue up around the 4th instar, much more on the 5th. As for making sure its a P. metallica it looks to be there is only one other pokie with a carapace like this and it has broader or longer white bands than span the legs at 2 leg segments. Pretty sure their metallica but you can always ensure this by going to a trusted breeder of them when looking to purchase.
