Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jenniferinfl" data-source="post: 201936" data-attributes="member: 37398">I have to say, my rufilata is not spazzy at all. I was a bit worried about it because I didn't have much of any experience with pokies. I can't believe how fast they grow, mine's already gotta have a 4" legspan and I picked it up in June at 1.75" or so in a little deli cup.. lol Anyhow, I've already rehoused into a 12X12X18 exo because I knew I wouldn't want to do many rehouses with it. I have to say, that spider is downright polite. I always move slow when working with it, but, if it sees I'm going to mess with the enclosure it just slowly walks back to it's cork bark and waits for me to be done then comes back out. Now, my regalis is really easily sent into teleport mode. That guy will teleport from just touching the latch on the enclosure. Not into it's hide either, just all over the place like it's speed racer. I have to psych myself up to feed it because it's just everywhere at once, can't do anything without a second set of eyes and a catch cup nearby. Stupid thing keeps webbing the door. The rufilata is a dream by comparison. No idea why my regalis is so bad, it's got multiple corks to choose  from and has just turned the whole thing into a web nightmare. I feel like it's my old OBT reincarnated.. lol</blockquote>
