This is a message from a customer of mine and I figured I would post it so people would know what can happen with these. I recommend to never hold your pokies for fun. They are a beautiful tarantulas to be looked at and taken care of but not for holding. Even when transfering you should be very careful. This guy was bit and said the pain was more than he could stand really.

FYI: The Poecilothuria regalis I got from you put me in the hospital the day I got it (actually less than 5 hours--I had to call 911), and a return to the emergency room 2 days later, 10 days of antibiotics, etc.

I can't imagine a more dangerous creature!
