Many people (including myself) gave the following advice to future pokies owner : Try P. irminia first, then you'll get used enough to upgrade to pokes...
According to some accounts, and my own experience, I think that perhaps we were wrong, since P. irminia, despite being lesser in size and venom, appears to be way more bitey than your average poke. Mine stay hidden all the time, and we had stories of specimen darting out their hide to bite some fingers. Usually pokes retreat from the open and will bite only obvious invaders of their nests, not the other way around.
