[QUOTE="Crax, post: 162073, member: 31160"] Anyone else have the most chilled pokie? Izzy is a confirmed male poecilotheria regalis and quite the relaxed little beast. I do add stimuli to his enclosure and have done since he was tiny. Such as a tattoo ink cap to carry around, more moss than usual to carry about, two different hides and various sized cork bark on all sides and not just one. Also on occasion, I'll sneak in some tongs and steal some of his moss on the bottom of his hide. This not only helps keep mildew and mold down but allows me to see if he's hoarding carcasses since he's a widdle guy and loves to be messy. Another factor to keep in mind, his enclosure is well above my head. Just think how high they actually live. I do the same with all my arboreal species. I did this for my old girl back in the day as well and she was pretty relaxed. Though with her, if you didn't knock first she'd let you know in a heart beat that she didn't appreciate it. Was wondering if anyone else had done similar things or am I just lucky? [/QUOTE]
