    AMAC ventilation for (ex)Avicularia

    My Amac setup....i have ventilation on 2 sides opposite to each other...and one big one from the top 1 inch diameter. The top hole is covered by a steel micromesh screen glued on.

    Monocentropus balfouri question

    Hhmm....maybe these blue baboons are a lot smarter than previously thought. Sounds like a good subject to study. First, i need to start two separate sacs....and before THAT happens, i need to get my baboons.

    Monocentropus balfouri question

    Yeah i wouldnt know what to make of it as well.....dont know if a week is like 3 months in tarantula years or if its just a week to them as well.....but now i know that separating for a week doesnt do anything bad ( at least for your example ).

    Monocentropus balfouri question

    Yeah saw those on youtube.....looked like they were happily coexisting....but slightest chance they would start munching on each other, i'll go solo for my 1st socotra. Last question: do they TEND to be communal in the wild? More apt to go communal or do they fly solo mostly?

    Is it really THAT bad for these guys?

    Glad to know there is an active community of T enthusiasts and breeders. Maybe someday they can be re-introduced to their country of origin if it comes to that. Shame....a species that has been around for millions of years getting decimated by a species that has been around for less than 1.
