My mature female A chalcodes does that too. I think she just does it so she can flick hairs at me when I fix it.

I simply can’t afford to try communal , and am afraid of having losses. I also don’t trust myself to succeed, unless it’s a proven genus. I had a p regalis pair communal for about 6 months til he got eaten or died. Split them em up once maybe, not for long. Must have failed never got eggs sack she molted soon after.
My sister wanted me to name my T ARAGOG too
!
Someone told me to name my Goliath Shelob well it didn’t live very long , sold a tumor sick spider. Hope to get a new Goliath someday, shoulda got one instead of trying to find cheaper big species. I like my Lp less health issues!!!My sister wanted me to name my T ARAGOG too
Like, it's cool that they're interested, but for the love of god, please don't ask me what kinds of tarantulas I have unless you know something about tarantulas. 
Couldn't agree more. When I first got into keeping inverts I wanted some beetles (goliath and tropical stags) and African giant snails. Guess what I found out. I can understand them being illegal in the southern states, but I live in northern Ohio. If I took a 1000 goliath beetles and a 1000 giant snails and released them in the woods behind my house it wouldn't cause any long term problems - because not one would last the winter. Yet I have no problem buying dubias - because they wouldn't last the winter.
Same. That's why I'm trying it probably exclusively with sacs I get. Cheaper that way.
I don't know about the rest of Europe, but here in the Netherlands, keepers are more and more starting up communals of Poecilotheria. Some with three, some with five specimens. Predominantly with P.metallica, from what I've gathered, but other species as well, though I can't tell which others off the top of my head. They all are still in the sling/juvie stage though, so there's no telling if they'll make it to adulthood of course, but it is becoming more common. Breeders are selling for communal as well.

I see but keep in mind my man that this is basically how we get 'pedes, uh, since 95% (maybe more) of the 'pedes available in the trade are WC
Yeah, I agree. breeding loans have not worked out for me.
HA! You'll reconsider when you get your umpteenth spider
This mostly, they should be donated to me for free. In the interest of the hobby of course.
Feeders expensive?? Where do you get them?This mostly, they should be donated to me for free. In the interest of the hobby of course.
(.. as I reach my max allowed number (determined by wife) ... I'll of course be offering these specimens for a price determined by the costs of "holding" them. Feeders are really expensive in the NL, so ymmv - also depending on if might need a new video card soon or my pick of a holiday location)
