Pokies aren't an issue because of aggression their issue is speed. If you respect the animal, you shouldn't have any issues. I do however suggest starting with a cheaper Pokie so that you can see if you like them. I have a bunch of pokies, and believe it or not my P.Metallica are by far my least favorite . I'd suggest starting with a nice cheap regalis, or ornata ,and then making the jump ti the pricey P.Metallica.

Well I'm selling my p.matalica slings for 75 bucks and the 40 dollars for over nite shipping that's a steal if u ask me

No offense, but you don't have them yet. You have to produce them before you can sell them for $75, and Metallica are not at all easy to breed.
$75 is a fair deal, but if you've never had a pokie before, it's probably better to buy a $20 Regalis, and get used to them before buying a $75 sling.

A valuable lesson I learnt early on is to never count your slings till they hatch. :)
P.metallicas are also a bit trickier to breed than most of the other pokies. :(

To get mine to drop a sac I had to keep her at lower temps compared to my other pokies as well as give her much less water. It also took her much longer to get her to drop, so much more patience needed. Just very different compared to most of the others I have gotten to drop.
