    Tolerating due to proximity is not communal I think. Just need someone to hit that island and look for them in the wild.

    ...its possible, tarantulas getting eaten. Afterall, they need to research it and decide if they are ready to accept that. Many m balfouri communals in captivity have been proven, even if some tarantulas get eaten. When i go to my dealer, the first thing i see is a giant enclosure, with an m...

    ...Could have been in premolt and it got interrupted. you have two choices: 1- you wait and see how it plays out. If you are keeping them communal, there is never a guarantee one will not make it. Strong or not, they can all become game, even in a good setup. 2- you go and get it. Be...

    21 days ago I bought 3 balfs. They were from one communal, I don't know if from one sac. Two of them were fine, one fast and one slower. The third one came in curled like he was about to moult or dead. Wasn't moving at all so I picked him up, touched him seeing if there is any movement. After...

    Separation of tarantulas after molting on L1

    If its a Battle Royale sling, i’ll pay double the price. What it was worth, plus loss and damage. this is my attempt of humour. But i am still serious. besides, lets get real, they are in Poland. No way they are getting 20$ a sling. No matter how majestical they are.

    Separation of tarantulas after molting on L1

    Welcome to the world of being a tarantula breeder lol. You can group 2i slings together for awhile in a communal (aka battle royale), however you will take losses if you're unable to move them fast enough with almost any species, even if you're overfeeding. You're either going to have to deal...

    Pandinus Imperator Intermediate-Advanced Care Tips?

    ...of substrate, and 3 flat stones as a hide for each scorpion in case they would each like their own space. I was curious to see what kind of communal habits they have, and so far, I have not seen the three of them separate from the same hide. They really seem to like each other, even if given...

    Communal Formosa Set up? Can it be introduced to Formosa separately bought?

    I got the communal idea from Reels it looks interesting and inviting to do. I don't want them to eat each other because it is not the reason I bought them. Since it's possible to do communal , Let me know how "I" can increase the chance NOT TO EAT their companion, at what age I need to end...

    Communal Formosa Set up? Can it be introduced to Formosa separately bought?

    ...its been said, enough. Which is why i still want to say what i would have said if i would have been the first to reply: don’t. they are not communal. if many of these live in the same tree, they are not sharing a hide. Unless there is significant evidence, that is repeated in litterature...
