I've never bred spiders. I found out they're not the species I thought they were but the communal huntsmen I mentioned are found in the area. I just had a different species. I found the male dead in a corner.

Thanks. I assume the female will not eat while the babies are on her back? As for the babies, will they eat before they molt? Immediately after?

...crickets are pretty vicious and can hurt your scorps, especially during molting, and they wont eat enough for that to be necessary. For communal set ups I actually throw in crickets for all of them minus one, so for your set up I'd put 5 crickets in there a week. My reasoning is if any are...

...who is the OP getting info from. OP being orginal poster. At this point im not feeling safe to tag them. who ever said you could do communal? And in what settings? Do you have a live tropical tree in your home? communal means, together in same den. Not on same tree. And these are endangered...

The Tegenaria domestica is looking vibrant, will always be my fav. I want to breed some one day in a 55 gal communal set up. Good looking pics!

...bit of size, but are still tiny enough that sorting through them is pretty tedious. I saw no evidence of cannibalism, so I’m leaving sac #2 communal for awhile. The communal slings are in a 5” by 6” enclosure, with mosquito mesh vent panels. The individual slings are in 2 oz deli cups with...

What I've read about Delena cancerides is that they are semi-communal, and the group usually consists of a large matriarch and several generations of her offspring (a big momma and her kids), but as individuals mature they are driven away. This would lead me to believe that you'd be unlikely to...

Aren’t most spiders not communal? Is this one supposed to be?

The species is commonly known as communal huntsman. I think the pair I have aren't those now because the actual delena cancerides looks a little different.

Generally speaking, spiders are not communal. Just because they may live in close proximity in the wild doesn't mean they will tolerate each other in the same enclosure in captivity. In the wild they can move away from one another when needed, but as you're finding out, when that option isn't...

You don't.

I know a biologist who studied them in the wild. He only observed them very high up in a hole in a tree. Never communal Does that really happen ever :troll: :banghead::rofl::rolleyes:

OP should really focus on what is in bold, and not just things such as this... please don't look for confirmation bias either...you can find that literally everywhere.

They are not really a communal species and one of the only reasons they tolerate being in close proximity in the wild is due to their now, quite limited range. In captivity, the same restrictions do not apply. It is smarter to just house each one separately.

They aren’t communal. You’ll end up with one fat T. But if you don’t care if one is killed go for it Putting animals in the same set up DOES NOT make it communal at all. This idea of communal that’s been around on the internet, not from scientific literature is complete CRAP.

Don’t do a communal P Metallica setup. They’ll end up eating each other AND are very fast with potent venom

Im currently have 2 p metallica slings and wanted to do a communal setup but someone said that its dangerous to the p metallica if they arent Siblings so is it possible?

Those are some Attractive Attackers ya got there! Australia is Awesome for Wildlife.

Has anybody kept these guys communally? I read that they can be kept together with enough space, like any communal scorpion i guess. I just wondered if it had been done before, has anyone bred them? Cheers.

The male and females are huge, it's spring here but it's cold. Around 10° or less. They're communal huntsmen, sourced from the bushland where I live. The species is delena cancerides but I saw a video this week that had a spider with a different name that looked exactly the same. They haven't...
