Do you find the Ps deserve the bad tempered rep some people give them?

Nice T. I don't think the pokies deserve the bad press they get, it's all a myth about them being VERY aggressive. Mine prefare to run away and hide when I'm sorting out the tank. They may get the bad press due to how toxic their venom is for a T.

None of my pokies have done anything to think they're "nasty" .. I've not even had a threat posture!
Only thing that went wrong was then i kept my P. ornata spiderling in a jar and i wanted it to move house. I didn't think to get a bottle cut in half, and so just tempted the spider to the edge of the jar, hoping it would go into the other one, and it ran round the rim of the jar i was holding, over my hand and leapt onto my bed. Then it just sat there dead still until i captured it and rehoused it lol
I actually got a pokie as about my .. well i had 2 spiders then bought a lot of 5 containing the P. ornata so in theory it was kinda my 3rd spider (in 2 weeks ) Never had a problem

Singer's aren't really my cup of T (haha excuse the pun!)

Congrats on going to get the spider They are beautiful

Here's a pic of mine if you wanna see! Now this is to prove also that they don't run out and jump on your face and eat you
She's in a KK on its end, with a big door and took the pic with it open and she didnt move a muscle

Poecilotheria ornata - juvenile female
