Pokie fever

[DalilahBlue]

I am really considering making the move and getting one of the T's that sparked it all-a Pokie.

Any suggestions on ones that would be a good intro to the genus?

You won't go wrong whatever you choose

My favourite genus is and will always be haplopelma, i was not really into pokies but it was the p. metallica who got me REALLY into pokies. I don't know available they are in the US though..

Go with Regails, Start cheap, and get pricier as you go..

Kenny is correct. P regalis is always a good start. Nice decent size pokie, so you cant go wrong there...

After that have a good look at all the pokies and you will start discovering which ones tickles your fancy and for what ever reason. You might just end up trying to collect them all.

As Kenny said, go cheap to start...
I'd avoid rufilatas and ornatas are a first pokie, theyre a little "meaner" than the rest...
I'd go with a striata, formosa, regalis. Theyre all pretty similar..

Heh, no worries on the not starting out cheap thing...my hubby would kill me if I was even considering a P. metallica....

A P. tigrinawesseli is actually what started my obsession with T's years ago....I saw one in a shop and was mesmerized.

I'll be looking for a regalis.

If you like the P.tig.. you should get one, there pretty cheap anymore..

I may have to check on those too...I can't recall exactly how much it was (In the several hundred dollar range) but I remember thinking someone would have to be crazy to pay that for a spider....

I think you can get well started sings from paul for like 40 bucks or so(1-1.5")

 

[DalilahBlue]

Heh, I was just looking. He has some for about 30 bucks. And some G. pulchras.

Now to just convince the hubby to let me order...

 

[Atx13]

Going big eh? those pulchras are purdy.. I've always wanted one.. another I always seem to pass on.

 

[DalilahBlue]

Pulchras are one I have wanted since I started but haven't had a chance to get. I am hoping to get one shortly.
