From what i have read of the H.Incei you needn't worry about cannibalism as long as they have enough food to go around. So if you have slings in there make sure you release some pinheads and larger crickets for the older or mature ones. They web up the place so you just release the crickets near the entrances of their webs

I have a communal of 3 at the moment they are 2cm i think :side: i don't see them much but know that 2 of the 3 have moulted. So far things are going great just don't really know when they are hungry or not just seeing crickets disappear.. I hope to one day have a big communal with +- 100 T's in but I'm just going to let this one take its course.. :blink: with my luck i get 3 males

I have been planning a 1.8m x 30cm wide and 30cm high, vivarium with a superwood lid with 50mesh 302 stainless steel mesh ventilation holes, and then adding loads of washed coral "stones", and live plants etc. And then adding the 10 slings and 2 females. Will post photos if I get it all up and running, but I have vivariums to make for breeders, so that will have to wait for now

Are you going to use live plants? and if you are what type of plants you going to use as i have also had this idea but dont know what i can and cant use :S

The best live plants to use is Hen and chicken (Chlorophytum comosum). This is about all i know of using live plants, i have no practical experience. If you end up buying some for an enclosure i'm sure you'll have to be sure that it's pesticide free etc.

Here's a link on the topic.

Thanks for the Link Flash, i did read that topic but i was wanting to know if anybody knows of any plants from Trinidad? I have been searching the net like crazy but cant find nothing!! But i guess The Hen and chicken will do fine in there will just have to wait and see.
