I'm still fairly new to the hobby, and everyone says you should gain some more experience before trying a Pokie. She's a lovely 2" specimen, and he wants to give her to me for free! (He is moving to some dorms and cannot take her with). I've seen how quick and skittish they can be, especially during feeding haha, so I'm not totally naive. I honestly think my A. Genic (aka the spawn of satan) is far more aggressive and skittish than his cute girl.
Now, the responsible side of me says that I should say no, and tell him to sell it to someone else who has some more experience.
The not so smart, risk taking side of me, says heck ya! She is free, cute, and something I've always wanted. Plus, if I need help, my friend is not far away. I know part of the reason he wants me to take her is because he wants to see her grow up too.
What do you guys think? Should I take the plunge and take her in? Or should I say no and maybe try a little bit easier spider before I ever consider a Pokie?
Btw, I am aware of their bite. I expect it to feel like my skin is being peeled back with extreme joint pain and maybe some tight breathing.
