I tend to agree that Pokies aren't that aggressive. Alot of the other T's I keep use the threat posture alot more than my regalis, she's a large 7.5 inch female. I give her ample places to hide and she seem comfortable in her enclosure. I personally wouldn't advocate handling your Pokie, but I don't handle any of my T's unless it is absolutely necessary, not from fear of being bitten but out of respect for the spider. I would really feel upset if I were handling one of my T's and it fell and died because of me wanting to handle it. I mean how many people hold their prize tropical fish???

I TOTALLY AGREE. I have collected and loved T's for almost 15 years now and i never really saw the need to handle them unless it was absolutley necessary. That doesnt happen often. Their safety is always priority number 1.

I have yet to see a threat pose from any of my pokies, all of them run and hide at any sight of light or movement lol.

I have had more threat poses from my irminia. The only pokie which ever showed me some fangs, was one of my P. subfusca at about 0,3inches bodylength ^^ Heard some mean * about the ornata though.

A big female Poecilotheria subfusca... I'm quite partial to my Tapinauchenius... but I must say this girl could steal anyone's heart. She's been cohabing with a male for a few weeks now.
