As incredible as P. metallica is, I have to admit my favorite Pokie is P.miranda. I’ve always loved the purple femurs, the white patellas, then alternating black, white, black, white. They’re covered in a wash of purple, and typically top out around 6.5″ They’re also generally reluctant to bite, and therefore are easy to work with. Again, this is not an open invitation to screw around with them and get cavalier and stupid. Temps should be 72-84 and humidity of 70%.
