Just make sure they are seriously well fed, if they are hungry at all, one may fall prey. I lost a communal Avic. Urticans last week cause I thought they were at the fasting point of premolt... apparently they needed one more feeding.

Nice pic kirdec, how long have you had them all together?
We been keeping a five P.murinus communal set-up since they were slings, there about three inches now and still have all five.

Awesome picture, Kirdec.

IF my female ever drops a sac, and IF I get any babies, I'm also planning on keeping them communally, so seeing your picture made me feel a whole lot better. :)

Wicked pic and cute little t's. Wish you luck on the communal thing. Keep um in a big tank and feed em lots. These experiments last a year, maybe more, then eventually canabalism sets in. Lord of the Flies and all that. What works in vivo doesn't necessarily jive in vitro baby.

I've had my tiny male about 3 inch Murinus in with my 5.5-6 inch female for about 2 weeks now, and he literally stands guard over her, he has her all webbed up in one corner LITERALLY sittin on top of the webbin and lunging at anything that gets near her,, i was blown away... im gonna wait about another week or so then seperate them just to make sure the mating takes.
