I have a 2" solifuge in a 12-14" tank (5" substrate) as they can climb glass/plastic and I wanted time to react if anything occurred. If I had a 12" pede, i'd probably go higher, but thats just IMO. If I buy a pede, I think i'll be speaking to C_strike as he knows what he's on about. Bravado..i guess the easiest way to illustrate it is to think of those skin heads who buy pitbull terriers to show off. Its not that they are interested in dogs, but more so to show off how hard they are. I'm not suggesting you are trying to do that, but it does happen. I'm also not suggesting that everyone who owns a pitbull is trying to be hard! 8-12cm is still pretty big, it'll be fast and strong...and venomous. If you have help from someone experienced, then I hope it works out for you and the pede - good luck!

The bravado point was simply because ive seen it done before, I did say I hadnt presumed that was the reason you wanted one.

Yeh, as GRB was saying, you cant get experience of these things by reading about them, it really would be like saying, iv read a book on the subject, i can fly a plane now:P
if your only buying the one, i do seriouslly think smaller would be better for you, although a smaller one is quicker for their size, their easy to house and when a mistake does happen, its not so serious as a bigger one. Most of the bite reports i have read have been of pedelings, very rarely i read about adults which with obvious reasons would be even worse! being prepared with no experience is the same as not being prepared. i would say ideally, you should have raised some P murinus from slings to adults and only then can you be ready-ish for a pede, lol theyr a league above. I mean, i have to say when i started i was quite naiive about it, but i was older and they were MY trophies, not for anyone else. I made sure no1 went near the pede enclosures, no touching too! many times iv been insanely lucky with escapees, once was a Cherryleg S subspinipes 'de haani' @ 9inch i had aquired through the post. I had only gone to get a bigger enclosure for it, but when i came bacjk to my room, there it was sat on my rucsac on the floor! You have to be prepared. I picked up the bag and pede and put it in the bath tub, pedes find it very hard to walk on the tub. They simply try to move too quic and 'wheelspin' lol If and when moving or opening a pede when you have to our best bet is to place tub in the plugged, but empty bathtub so there isnt an escape. Oh bare in mind they will also climb up the tongs you are holding with lightning speed! Psycho billy escaped at one pouint, he pushed the clip off the top of the exotank. i found him walking down the side of my reptile vivarium underneath! that was worrying, how do you grab it? its on a thin bit of wood. Even when expecting something to happen, if they intend for it to happen they will win everytime.

Why not a scorp? theyr much more easy to deal with. Some can have a real bad disposition too. Inverts are bloody scary thigns really:P
Scorps arent going to be as quic as a quic Tarantula but theyr greaat fun to deal with. Or simply get a quicker tarantula? Nowt wrong with owning a pede, but its just something to enjoy later on if you got the balls. Quote:
Emus can be kept wityh no license, yet they can easily disembowel you, and others. yet a scorp will be lucky to get the chance in its tub
