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. Isopeda Villosa.

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?

Agree 100% and that's not "Trash Talk" lol 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.

...old age and the third died a couple weeks ago. 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...

I love this. It reminds me a lot of writing code in Python. It'll give you something that looks reasonable, but riddled with errors.

...of common problems with advice on how to avoid them. It also recommend things that are subjective with authority, such as them being communal or requiring a 20 gallon tank. And it falls back on strict feeding schedules when monitoring body condition is much more accurate and better. AI care...

...water dish regularly. Regularly check for signs of health issues and adjust the enclosure’s environment as needed. Additional Information Communal housing: Emperor scorpions can be housed communally, but ensure there are enough hiding spots and monitor for signs of aggression. It is...

...Keep the enclosure clean to prevent infestations. Remove uneaten food and clean the water dish frequently. Additional Information Communal housing: Although it’s possible to house multiple Gigantometrus swammerdami together, ensure they are similarly sized and that the enclosure is large...

Doesn’t often end well especially once adults .🫠😞

I have experienced this with Tegenaria domestica, I attempted a communal with 3 but only a male and female remained. They seemed to tolerate each other though 🤷. Definitely not communal though.

Its the wild. Its not communal. They tolerate each other. They are not sharing the same intimacy. Maybe they hatched and adopted that space. @darkness975 might shed more light. I have seen tons of species in close quarters at the cottage house. They are at respectable distances. Theres a...
