I figured I'd post a pic of the three A. avicularia spiderlings that I have living in the same container. They seem to be getting along, they've been together for almost a month now with no casualties. They actually hang out near each other most of the time. I can't wait to see what they're like together when they're bigger. The pics a bit blurry, but you can tell what they are.

Nice pic pategirl, and the slings look great too.

Do you plan on moving them to something a little larger soon? The only thing I'm thinking is when they get ready to molt, there isn't much room for each of them to get away and molt.

I'm doing the same thing with a couple of my A. avics. I would suggest a little larger container with some fake plants or cork bark so they can create their own hides.

Just a suggestion, but I'm interested to hear how the 3 of them do together in the future. Keep us posted:)

I really do need to move them into something a bit bigger, I just haven't yet. I don't want to put them in something too big, but I want them to be comfortable as well. I'll find something soon, I just put them in that when they hatched, I know, I'm lazy.:) Its kinda interesting how they've all pitched in to make the one big web, though...Each one of them has his or her own little tube in it, and they retreat there when I open the lid.
