[QUOTE="Arachnoclown, post: 153417, member: 27444"] Ornamental aren't fragile at all. They are kept the same way most terrestrial are kept except for the taller enclosure. All my pokies are kept on dry substrate that I over flow once a week. The only real difference is the cleaning of the enclosure/ rehousing. Pokies like to shoot their feces all over the place. So being comfortable with the door open and cleaning is where the challenge is. I always feed them first so they are occupied while I maintain their enclosure. A large corkbark tube is the best thing for pokies. When they retreat inside toss them a roach and place a wet rag over the entrance. Done deal...they will be too busy eating to worry about you.
