I currently have:

5 x H incei - only recently seen 3 of them. They about 1,5 to 2cm i think.

H incei communal with a mom and bout 18 to 20 babies. seem to be doing ok. some have definately grown faster than others. have a real special one bout 1 to 1,5 cm that is deformed. Has wonky legs and all but last night took down a fairly large roach for its size. Also saw the mom catch food for the first time last night.

3 x H gigas. still small. not even 2cm. Still ok. Saw a moult the other day. They all in their own holes but on the same side of the container. the one i have separate has grown faster? Weird!

5 x T ockerti. One molted first. Then bout 3 days later the others also molted. All seem ok. Oh they are also still small like 1cm.

I want to try one of the pokies as a communal and the avic communal sounds awsome!

I have an M balfouri communal with 16 spiders... duh...

Any chance of donating a few to your ol' friend Spunkieeeee? For science, of course

Just to put a STUPID idea out there:








Apparently this communal had 30 H.maculatas living together.

Is it madness? Probably. Am I going to try it later this year? Definitely. Will I get tagged by one whilst rehousing? Without a doubt-ly

Oxymoron: Spunky and "Science".
Moron: Scarab donating.

Fake it till you make it. I'm not good with Science, so I married into a 'Scientific' family
