Anyone can derail any of my threads at any time!!! It never bothers me personally at all So feel free to ask me whatever you want in any of my threads!! IMO they are not hard to keep. They are very fast and skiddish though. They are photosensitive and like all pokies have some very strong venom. They are said to be one of the more docile types of pokie to work with. 2 P. Metallica slings were my FIRST pokies and my first old world tarantulas for that matter that I ever worked with. I personally did not have a single problem. I did a lot of reading on them (bite reports and anything I could) and watched a ton of videos before hand. I had worked with lots of other tarantulas befor I got them though (just not Old Worlds).
