Hello everyone,

I apologize for it being so late but I'm going to rehouse my pokie and have no clue what to put her in?? She is 3 inches now and money is alittle tight at the moment. Can I use a sterlite cereal container from Walmart or some tall container?

Getting help tonight would help me have a game plan for tomorrow!

Thanks

I house mine in 16oz cups, I'm raising all my pokies in 160z cups until they reach a certain length. All of mine are and were babies lol

Yes

Give it more space than a normal T due to its speed, that's safer for YOU and the T. A bite from a Poki sends grown adults to hospitals

I get these from the dollar store....im about to house 6 pokies the same size into them today...keep in mind, that horizontal space is actually more critical than vertical....I house all non avuc arboreals in these as juvies...males mature in them, females get upgraded eventually to more classicly arboreal set ups.

This is what I came up with, I couldn't find a clear top but I think this turned out very well. 20200512_175201.jpg 20200512_175205.jpg
