At last count, how many tarantulas are in your collection?

47 tarantulas of various sizes. Mix of all sorts. 7 scorpions, three in a small communal.
I've just spammed this thread, but what scorpions do you keep communal? Is it a bad idea to introduce a scorpion to another that's been living hermit style for a while?

Currently sitting at 29 Ts as I’ve been branching out a lot lately and letting some slings grow up before I get any more.

I also have 8 mantids, 3 scorps, a vinegaroon, a whip scorpion, a handful of assorted scarab beetle Larvae, several exotic roach colonies, 3 huntsman, and around... ~400 Polyphemus or cecropia caterpillars.

I'm not buying anymore this month, so I guess I could've posted how many I have when I posted this thread, but too late now.

I have 42 tarantulas Of various sizes at this moment.

155 :bag:. That number will change in a week, though, because Hamm expo... Hopefully I'll not only buy more but also sell a few MMs. If I'm really lucky that number won't even change at all ;).
And three whip spider babies.

Counting the recent P. cambridgei sac (230) I'm probably very close to 375 give or take. Also hoping for sacs from H. pulchripes, A. azuraklaasi, C. versicolor, N. tripepii, N. chromatus, P. sazimai, and P. rufilata.

Heterometrus Petersii. Had them separate as babies for over a year before putting three together. Give them some space, feed often (2x a week and one or two criks per scorp), and add plenty of hides. They've grown very quickly together and always sit in the same burrow.
