OK, I've been fooling with the idea of getting a couple of pokies. Some may remember my post asking for info. I've held off because even though they are BEAUTIFUL I've been worried about the aggressive nature. I was also looking at those Indian Violets with love in my eyes but feared how aggressive they might be. So I emailed Kelly to ask him what he thought about the violets and the pokies. As I suspected he did say the violets are really nasty but will usually hide in their holes rather than bolt for it. His comment on the pokies was just about the same as you all told me - won't attack unless provoked. So, I decided, since I got some dough in hand, I'd go ahead and get a pokie and a violet and call it quits on new spiders for a while. Well....
when I go to Kelly's page he's got it all updated and he has 1.5" Red Slate Ornamentals!!! When I was looking about at the pokies that and the indian ornamentals were my two top choices but I haven't seen any slates at a good price or smaller size (I'd like to grow with my new guys since these will be my first 'no touch' aboreals). Well, the violet lost out. Sometime next week I will be the proud first time owner of a red slate and an indian ornamental. Any advice will be truly appreciated. The first bit of information I'd need of course is "how do you get a super fast aboreal bitey thing out of it's shipping vial and into it's new house?" LOL
