@jon3800 iv seen his vids where his been taged and it dont look nice

[liampaul1992]

Have you had a bite from a pokie if so how did it feel othere then hurt a lot lol

[Jon3800]

@liampaul1992

can't tell you. I never been bitten by any T. RobC has been bitten by pokies..Its not a fun experience

[arachnidsrulz12]

I love pokies

[jcv4200]

Nice one Jon.

[gobackto82]

oh i thought that was an H. Mac

[gobackto82]

Now I know the Pokies with 2 scientific names:

Bara - Subfusca Lowland

Hanuvilascumia - Hillyardi

Vittata - Striata

Pococki - Smithi

[trivallica88]

Hello Jon,

Such a great video, i have a P.Regalis and a P.Metallica i also have a sling P.Smithi on the way from the same guy i got my P.Metallica off, do you know much info about these?? They seem hard to find..

Cheers mate.

Jason

[Jon3800]

lol hard to find is putting it mildly

They're pretty much very rare, almost non-existant in the hobby. They along with P. hanumavilasumica are a highly endangered species thus having a very high price tag.

I can't find one here but you're looking at a good $500-700 on a good sized sling and its quite unreasonable to spend on a pokie that small.  Becareful tho, because they are cross-breeding P.smithi to get it into the hobby

[trivallica88]

Thanks Jon, well a guy from Germany has some CB slings and he is selling me one for £165 so around $380 so not bad. I got my P.Metallica for £125 but was so worth it when i found out she was a female ;) Love her :) I have a video of her if you look on my profile.

[19IndianOrnamental96]

hey jon could you give me some info on a indian ornamental because i just ordered 1

[Jon3800]

I do have videos on pokies.

They're generally large aboreals that get up to about 7-8 inches. They're quite easy to keep, 80F with 75-80% humidity.

Don't handle. These tarantulas move like grease lightning (very fast) , they're typically shy in temperament but can become fairly aggressive if cornered or bothered, and it packs some serious venom

[Jon3800]

somewhat. Poecilotheria smithi is rarer

[Jon3800]

Just be careful

[XxTaylor88xX]

Hey Jon, did u ever think of getting the Mysore Orange Ornamental(Poecilotheria striata)?

[Jon3800]

yes, I have one coming in

[Jon3800]

if you dont mist that often, no

[Jon3800]

you put it in the oven for couple of minutes to kill the germs

[surfrussia]

wow! these videos are awesome! i was never interested in pokies (not that i know much about Tarantulas lol) before i saw this. but now i really want to own a formosa (i just have to get over my crippling arachnophobia)

[Jon3800]

Thanks, you might want to start with a pinktoe or curly hair before you get into pokies

[surfrussia]

yeah i'd get a pinktoe if i was ever to get a tarantula- but i'm so afraid of spiders it will never happen :( i was once in a pet store and the owner pulled out a goliath molt- i ran out the door shaking with fear lol

[Jon3800]

lol, but getting a tarantula will overcome your fear on spiders, that happened t me

[surfrussia]

really? you were afraid of spiders?

[Jon3800]

good job, make sure u sterilize the vines

[SMOKEYDABANDID]

i just got a two inch Indian Ornamental... you got any advice?!

[Jon3800]

Whatever you do, be VERY CAREFUL with it. Don't touch or handle it in anyway shape or form. Insanely fast tarantulas, that can be quite aggressive that have a very bad bite.

Keep it just like the one in the video and you'll be fine. Congrats

[huntingisnotgood]

hey jon i was wondering when you are getting your new t shipment in.

[Jon3800]

don't know yet, Canada has the papers to make the tarantula shipment legal. Hopefully soon

[avihi120]

Great Video! 5*

I probably should've waited longer to get my first Pokie lol My P. Ornata is my 4th T.

[Arcanis15]

Absolutley beautiful Pokies Jon. I think the Metallica is the most beautiful T's I've ever seen. Too bad about your ornata being a male though.

[Jon3800]

Ill be getting a female hopefully

[Jon3800]

[mattmoksnes]

[Jacksonkellyfreak]

[Jon3800]

Thanks man

[chicowasp]

all stunning jon,want to get a bengal spotted myself,mat

[Jon3800]

they're awesome

[XGCPR3D4T0R]

Awsome Pokie collection. I don't know if i should start collecting pokies, brachys, avics, or grammys lol any ideas?

[Jon3800]

start with brachys, then some psalmopoeus, then pokies

[huntingisnotgood]

i just hate hairs and i dont care about the venom but i want a s. cal so bad.

[Jon3800]

Those are very scary. Makes pokies look like brahys

[SmallArachnidBlogger]

MAKES POKIES LOOK BAD LOL!

[huntingisnotgood]

yeah they are all really good looking but im probably going to go for all of them i think i kinda started backwards my first spider was a h. mac and alot of my freinds have told me im stupid for holding it but i dont think so as long as it doesnt have hairs.

[Jon3800]

even tho they dont have hairs, their bites is something to NOT look forward too. My S.cal scares the shit out of me

[huntingisnotgood]

thanks jon i think im going to go for a ornata but im going to go for a metallica.

[Jon3800]

lol cant decide

[homicidalsausage]

Awesome video!

[Jon3800]

[Jon3800]

[beautoxrocks]
