[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 160304, member: 26980"] I have 4 pokies. They have excellent vision, unlike other tarantulas. Once it gets to the size of a silver dollar or 50 cent piece, it'll do fine in an adult cage. The other trick with pokies is to always use a cage that opens from the top, never the side. Pokies run in a spiral pattern, like a coil spring. Obviously if it opens sideways, out she goes!! Here's the problem. [MEDIA=youtube]H4M0BeSSY-k[/MEDIA] See how it moves. On the other hand, here's how I introduced my juvenile to her cage. I since rehoused her. [MEDIA=youtube]qLt57AcyLZc[/MEDIA] It's how you do the cage that makes all the difference. Having cork bark rounds isn't mandatory, but I think that also helps. [/QUOTE]
