Hey everyone, I stumbled across this forum in one of my random searches.


Anyway I am obsessed with creating vivariums for communal setups.

Currently I have a 35 gallon with 3 adult Damon diadema (usually it is a setup containing a ratio of: 2.3.0, but two of the females are in another tank due to them holding eggs).

A 35 containing 2 Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans (0.0.2) with another 4 on the way.

Another 35 with 1 female Avicularia urticans, but acquiring 2 more soon.

A 50 gallon containing 1 female unidentified species of tailless whip scorpion, 3 times larger than Damon diadema, with 6 inch claws. several more on the way.

In 2 days I am setting up two tanks, one containing 5 Holothele incei, and the other 5 Holothele sp. "Notre de Santander".


Give me a week or so and I'll get some pictures up.



Now I'm actually acquiring 2 new tanks (77 gallons each), and want to put in some communal species. Does anyone have suggestions on what arthropod species work well in a communal setting? I'm looking for something interesting. I was thinking of doing one of the species of Emperor or desert hairy scorpions in one tank (though both are quite common). But that leaves me with another empty tank.

Well I already setup a Rhacodactylus ciliatus tank for my roommate, and I have two large Uroplatus setups... one for 4.4.0 Uroplatus phantasticus, and another for 2.2.0 U. ebenaui. All kept cool in my basement.
