[QUOTE="martiannova, post: 160302, member: 29268"] I took the plunge today and got a p. vittata, mostly by chance. I wasn’t planning on getting one for a while ( I was actually looking for a sun tiger on the rec of some more experienced keepers) when I found a 2" vittata for less than 80 at a reptile show, and I couldn’t say no (they’re banning imports now I think?). Needless to say I’m more than a little apprehensive, so any tips on care/feeding/ how to avoid getting bit are VERY welcome. I’m planning on putting them in a ten gallon (vertical) with a modified lid that opens out rather than a sliding top. It’ll be fed dubias primarily. Even though it’s small I’m planning on introducing the juvie into its adult tank as soon as I have it together, to avoid rehoming issues when it’s older. Thoughts? How do you house your pokies?
