I have been keeping and rearing Poecilotheria communually (except ornata) before twatbook and twittwat were invented, have a read of some old BTS journals all the info to keep communually is in there where to you think the you tubers (I thought a tuber was an unwanted fungal growth?) etc get there information from? they certainly dont do thier own research and never referance where they get there info from to make them sound so greeaat. if they were doing thier own research they wouldnt have the time to be on social media 24/7.
Interesting. Thank you very much for your insight. I am not interested in doing this at all, but i like to know sources. BTS is a long outstanding source and so, it must be possible.

this sheds some light on this possibility.

serious people interested in arachnids would get a journal. Reading and researching takes a lot of time. I would not trust anything on youtube if i could not cross check. I wanted to join BTS for a while. I don’t have access to everything. Have read some articles on all sorts of things including nematode. I trust their data and can always crosscheck if needed.

I got the communal idea from Reels it looks interesting and inviting to do. I don't want them to eat each other because it is not the reason I bought them. Since it's possible to do communal , Let me know how "I" can increase the chance NOT TO EAT their companion, at what age I need to end their communal? Because some say they TEND TO eat their companion ONLY WHEN THEY are ready to breed. Let me know if it's true or not.

Can you show me the link to your BTS account?
if you find the links and information, i would be very interested in reading this, simply for educating myself.

i will try to find it myself.

my first search results:

https://arachnoboards.com/threads/communal-tarantula-project.60149/


https://hardcorearachnids.com/pages...r-communities-social-rearing-of-poecilotheria


I think we will need to buy the old journals. Probably by writing to BTS about your interests, they will direct you to the specific journals if still available.

this is, after all, scientific research. I don’t think it is available for free online.

I wrote to BTS and got the information. You need to be a member to get digital access to the journals that provide the articiles.
