Monocentropus lambertoni

Are these communal like Balfouri?

if so can I do a communal with these and some balfouri if I buy them all at the same time and put them in the same enclosure all at once?

Never mix different species in the same enclosure. It's an experiment not worth the money.

I have seen pictures of lambertoni kept communally, though I have never done it myself. Supposedly it's not a problem. You shouldn't mix species.

+1. Especially for high dollar species. I don't understand the logic behind it.

Even with tarantulas of the same (communal) species it is highly recommended to use specimens from the same sac... using completely different species is just a recipe for disaster. We need more breeding/CB slings of M. lambertoni in the US, and definitely should not be wasting the spiders we do have on inter-species communal projects.

which is why I asked before doing so it wouldn't be labeled an experiment

Well, you never know when people are the "get advice but don't take it" type.
