There is some scientific merit to what Shampain did so long as it's never repeated. Tarantulaguy1976 has done a similar thing detailing why we must be careful with pokies.I've modified the way I do my pokie cages to prevent a repeat of that happening. Since I'm seriously considering adding either an OBT or E olivacea to the denizens of my mad realm, it's worth taking a second look.Although the cork bark round somewhat reduces the visibility of my largest P striata, it does probably grant another layer of protection. I've glued a plastic plate to it's bottom and need only screw on a lid to safely contain him should the need arise.</blockquote>
