Agree with mites, i would manually remove them with a paint brush and clean/replace everything in the enclosure Edit: in the last picture you can see them around the base of the legs too, would do a thorough check and check the other scorpions if you had it in a communal

Yups, common. They are very communal. The males allow their webs to be used by others and they all share prey catches. Not unusual to see two of them sucking on the same bug at the same time. Slings are treated as just another member of the community. Eventually the kids move off, either making...

P. Spinigerus (Striped Devil) Communal Set Ups are Risky ihmo

Anybody know of this species tolerating communal living?

The enclosure might be too small.

So there communal until they get Territorial ? Then it’s over ?

There's a thread for that ;) . https://arachnoboards.com/threads/what-species-are-you-keeping-currently.344647/ Had a few exciting, long awaited additions in the past week or two in order to lock in some future projects. 0.1 Chilobrachys sp South Thailand Blue 0.1 Aphonopelma bicoloratum...

Communals can be done but will not be recommended on AB by many members. Communals if one so desires and cannot be deterred from doing it should only be attempted by a very experienced keeper. If you don't know what to visually look for on a MM or a molt then you shouldn't have attempted a...

Thank you everyone! Didn't know the communal enclosure were kinda "myth" ideas :P

Go look at breeding reports. I tried it with a pokie male got eaten , but these I dono… yep ! Just a few days ago.

I am basically asking if I should remove the male from the COMMUNAL enclosure or is it ok to keep him in there? ... Apparently there are 3 female and 1 male... I was thinking that when mixed inside communal they will just breed naturally bythemself but Is not this the case as I am understanding...

Hello guys, I have 4 Balfouri since almost 1 and half year, they were sling when I first got them... I recently rehouse them from an old to a newer enclosure... I have noticed that one of them is pretty " slim " , compared to the others friend told me it should be a male and I should keep...

Are they all communal for every species?? I think it’s centipedes that aren’t. But I could be wrong. 😑 I had ivory’s once but they didn’t do so well I should had a clearer more displayed cage.

I would just research if their communal.. until someone who knows response here. I don’t think millipedes attack each other.

They're not, really. When mine started laying egg sacs, I started reading research papers to prepare, and one paper described the behavior of S. triangulosa slings under different conditions with controls for temperature, humidity, and prey availability. I learned that captive slings don't...

I’ve swore I’ve seen them here in Ohio, but just curious lol 😂 huge amounts of them!!! I had no idea they were communal.

...mind of it's own as to which way is up. I didn't include any of their orchids. They aren't really interested in them. Just have 30 or 40. Communal growth. The ferm provides moisture and shade for the volunteers beneath it. It can't decide which is it's trunk. Local vegetation tries...

Interesting... Are You thinking of Insects or Opiliones ?
