Well done
Really awsome news Cerat

Still hopen for the best for further eggcase you my get hold of

Wow Cerat, looked at this thread properly for the first time.
You are definitely doing something right. I know pokies are some of the more difficult
T's to breed, even mating them needs a different approach.

Best of luck, specially with the subfusca:-)

Cheers

let me stir the pot a lil ...

It was stated on the thread that the P Subfusca (highland and lowland) are being counted as 2 seperate species ...

I heard rumblings that P Bara (because of size and/or colour differences) was perhaps going to be seperated from P Subfusca.

Question: Any opinions on them just being colour variations?

:dry: As someone recently stated - my gal seems to be a Mid-Land Form :laugh:

As we speak my 2nd regalis female is busy making an eggcase.
pokie eggcase no.7 for the year (5 in the last 5 weeks) added to my C.huahini eggcase 5 weeks ago (which have now all moulted into 1st instars).
Its raining pokies.

Wow Cerat - you should document your findings. A book specifically dedicated to Pokies

Congrats dude! Soon your name will have to change to Pokie King

Cascade theres 14 species of poekies and if we want to seperate the P.subfusca into lowland and highland there would be 15.I have 12 of those 14-15 species of which 3 is male and I struggle to get females ,but I did burrow one of my males so I hope we have breakthrough in getting a eggsack.Its like Rayman says I think so far its one of the most difficult species to mate.I have just lost an eggsack of myne the P.ornata which was a bummer.my P.formosa had about 60 eggs and only 4 became eggs with legs and 3 turned to be instars,as you also saw the you tube movie on the metallica eating her eggsack which looks quite common to the poekie species.So far there has been success with the P.faciata ,P.regalis and P.ornate all different breeders so maybe we can get a patern and have more success in the future.Next time when you buy a poekie buy 3-5 and your chances of having both male and female is great.
