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

  • @liampaul1992

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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

  • 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

  • oh i thought that was an H. Mac

  • Now I know the Pokies with 2 scientific names:

    Bara - Subfusca Lowland

    Hanuvilascumia - Hillyardi

    Vittata - Striata

    Pococki - Smithi

  • 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.
