do we have any T keepers on the forum, I'm considering building up my collection again just ordered a pokie (indian ornaMENTAL) any one got any experience with these? do they deserve their aggressive reputation or just misunderstood?

Only small still, I'd say about 6/7 cm but with enough attitude Laughing

Only spider I've ever seen to catch a locust bigger then itself and then chase after and catch another one while the firs is still in its mouth Shocked

I have a goliath and a cobalt blue atm.
This morning my young goliath was on his back...so hopefully will have moulted when I get back.
Sorry, can't help you with the ornamental question, not kept any of those. Have you asked around at thebts.co.uk?

Hiyas i kept a couple of pokies for a while!
They was a nightmare, Stunning wee beasties but yes they are aggressive not something to handle full stop also amazing is how they have the power to move faster than speed of light, also tend to be pretty skittish they do calm a little as they get older i found males tend to be more stroppy than females.
Bonus is they don't flick Urticating Hairs.
The are pretty fast growers, general care require more height rather than floor space they do better at higher temperatures around 80/85 and 70/80 humidity and are not too fussy about what they eat.
That's about all i can say i think!
