Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zaiaku" data-source="post: 80534" data-attributes="member: 5884">Oh no I agree I wouldn't handle a pokie ever, nor would I say someone should. But clearly Chad has some sort of super power talent lol. There is another of him holding a p. Vittata I think. And it's a little more skittish in his hands but never once shows any sort of defensive behaviour. It's completely unbelievable. Kinda like my friend who always handles his OBT..... he has been bit by it once during a feeding...never while he handled her. Don't know how they get away with it but I know the moment I even put my hand near a T like a pokie or OBT I'll regret it instantly soooo when I get my own OBT and or pokie I will admire him/her from a respective distance and let them do their thing haha.Edit: no my bad I just went and looked it was a P. Miranda, not a vittata. Lol</blockquote>
