pokie advice

[John chambers]

Hello all.

Ok my first step in to OW is P.regalis and it's a sling..
But now I'm seeking info on these ..
P. striata, P. ornata, and P. pederseni and if any one can post pics to show what they look like as
google shows so many I haven't a clue..

Also any idea of what prices I'll be looking at for slings / juvi's.

Thanks to any one that can help..

John

This gives species in a single page for you to browse.

Also you could search our BTS Theraphosid gallery


Pete Lacey's normally got pokie slings of all sorts floating around for sale .... join him in a duet and you might get a couple cheap

Thanks Colin
I've removed ornata from the list .. too dark a colour..

I'm using a sainsbury's milk jug ( comes free with bags of milk if you buy two )
I've put a cut black rubbish bag over a part to darken it off ( where the cork is )
I spray water so it can drink and have put in a really small cricket that for it's size will handle easy..
And I've found out they blend in so easy and move super fast..
( I and Mandie had to catch it .. it's a long story .. But I did learn much ).
But the question is how do you know when they have eaten?..
Do slings hunt? or just sit and wait?...

How many feedings is ok.. Like with avics I feed once or twice aweek.
