I too have read several instances where P. Striata has done fine communally, but maybe he has tried and was unsuccessful Philth?

I'm a bit confused:?, if your referring to why I asked Protectyaaaneck why he included P. striata as one that does not do well as a communal set up, he answered my question here...

Hey tom, that's great to hear! I'm glad that you have a striata communal, please keep us updated as to what happens with them as they get larger. The only reason I placed striata in that category is because I've come across information at one point or another that backed it up. I'll have to do a bit of digging to find it again, but that's just what I remember from doing some research on Poecilotheria communals in the past.
Sorry if I misunderstood your question.
Later, Tom

Probably a late response, but I have seen a lot of Metallica communal enclosures and they do grea. They are also the most docile of all pokies

I would love to do a p.metallica communal one day, or see one done. Gorgeous Ts.

Tread lightly. I've seen subfusca that are more handleable than B smithi and I've seen P metallica that are more vicious than my C marshalli. Individuals vary greatly!

My $0.02:
My P miranda is afraid of her own shadow. I've heard that this timidity is a huge factor in their ability to succeed in groups. I have 12 P regalis slings together and they're doing just fine, despite being potentially ferocious as adults. Thanks for the pictures, Protectyaaaneck!
