I've never met a (compared to Pokie) fast H. maculata though, and most guys I know who have them disprove the idea of them being that fast.I think what makes Pokies more difficult to rehouse is their willingness to bolt out of their enclosures. Most OW species I've had that are known to be very fast and defensive are really reluctant to leave their enclosures, making it pretty easy to just move the stuff around them and putting a container over them. Pokies gladly leave their homes.</blockquote>
