A newbie guide to Poecilotheria

[shrek090]

this brilliant thread should be STICKY and not get lost on all the other pages.

All hail "Dan the pokie man"
I want a pokie but I'm a little scared of their reputation (even though I have a new 30x30x45 exo waiting for something). This thread has given me so much valuable info, that I'm "almost" ready to get a P regalis,,,almost,,,

And lets face it, if an effin everyday red knee can have a sticky dedicated to it, then this its a damn travesty if this isnt allowed the same high office!

Well done "Dan the Pokie Man"

Very nice article! Poecilotheria genus is the best!

Interesting thread made some good reading. I really do like the metallica the most the colour of it is striking. Definatly should be a sticky.

Thanks for all the kind words guys Especially the rallying for a sticky lol. Doubt that's gonna happen though, seeing as most of the keepers on here wouldnt touch a pokie with a 10 foot barge pole :p

I did it for the small minority that wanted to take a chance but didnt know where to start

I think this is a great article, although it should be stickied in the caresheet section IMO. This forum is starting to fill with stickies, it could get a bit OTT.

I vote sticky as well, really enjoyed reading this and i'm not dreading rehousing my regalis as much as i was

When you say about rehousing in the bath dan, can they not climb out then? I know normal house spiders can get stuck in the bath, and i'm guessing the same would happen with a terrestrial tarantula but would it be the same for an arboreal?

Why is this not a sticky yet? Come on mods, this is great advice that all T keepers should read.

Great thread, was amazingly helpful when I had to pack a pokie the other day, should definitely be made a sticky
