In Reply to: tristis tristis???????? posted by RoadSpawn on May 06, 2003 at 23:07:05:

I picked up one t.orientalis about a year ago on a fluke. I ended up liking it so much that I bought 3 more, plus three t.tristis in March. The picture is of the 3 t.tristis.

I currently have mine set up similar to my ackies, but that may change.
They are skittish but the orientalis has improved with age and will hang out as I do cage maintenance. They can be lightning fast, but I have never been bitten by them (I got bit by an ackie last night).
All in all I think they are great, but my experience is limited to raising one orientalis for a year and two months raising the other five.
At this point I think they are extremely underrated and I don't understand why they aren't more popular.
Good Luck
