Message: <blockquote data-quote="micheldied" data-source="post: 66154" data-attributes="member: 4088">I've only had a single P. miranda before, so it may not represent the species as a whole. They're a very plain looking pokie. Nothing wrong with that, of course. It's all a matter of taste. Mine was very calm (which seems to be the norm for this species, from what I've heard), one of my calmest pokies. But I've had a lot of success with most of my Ts being very calm.It was out often enough for an OW species, which honestly isn't a whole lot. But it definitely wasn't scrunched up in a corner or hidden in a burrow (most of the pokie species I've had would burrow or make web curtains, but the P. miranda never did). Most pokies spend their time hanging behind their cork bark hides or in the back corners of enclosures, although it really depends on how you set up the enclosure. I've always been one to provide many hiding places.Care's pretty much like any other pokie. I'd have one again if I had the space, and already had some of the other species I want. I personally like the black and white ones (P. formosa and P. miranda) than the P. regalis types.</blockquote>
