New T on Tuesday

[Pociemon]

On Tuesday i will get a fullgrown Pterinochilus murinus and a sling Poecilotheria Ornata. I have checked several guides to take care of them, but if there is more to add to them i welcome any advice out there

Do a search or these and I am sure you'll find LOTS of info.

In the mean time, here's something to get you started :

To help the search. The P. murinus is commonly called an OBT

Good luck

Pokies are wonderful, a regalis was my first OW T, now I have more. Just remember, pokies are VERY fast, they can move faster than you can see them do it. If this is a small pokie, you might want to house it so that it can either climb or burrow.
I have 2 ornatas and a fasciata that are under 3 inches and they all burrow. I'm assuming they will grow out of it. My metallica is just a little bigger than that and has no interest in burrowing. Offer your sling the opportunity to do either and let it choose. My pokies may just be strange, I'm not really sure on that.
