Okay, I see alot of topics about what to start with and what to get for a first pokie. Well, I was in a local pet store picking up crickets last night when I noticed they got in some new T's so took a quick look. They have what looks like a 3" P. pedeseni for about $50 in one of the small AMAC display boxes, which is roughly about 2" x 2 " x 3.5" (possibly smaller) . I felt horrible for it and at first glance...I even thought there was two T's in there cause it is so cramped. The pokie literally takes up the whole enclosure and instantly reminded me of one of those ships in a bottle...
So....
I am considering going back up there to get it, but wanted to get some input as to anything I should be aware of first. I usually dont hear about too many people recommending it as a good first pokie. Does it have different (harder to keep) requirements, or is it more aggressive, defensive, flighty, skittish, nimble, than most of the others? Any characteristics that seem to be specific to the pederseni? It seems like everyone has a different idea of what is the faster or more aggressive pokie...and some people even tell me pokies just caught a bad wrap and aren't any worse than any other T. So...before I jump in with both feet...thought I should probably test the water and get some feedback from you veterans. The fastest and most aggressive I have right now are 2 P. cancerides @ 2"...would this pederseni be too large of a step forward into the "evil" T's?
