Holothele incei communal tank(pics)

[syndicate]

so after seeing Tarcan and Billopelmas incei communal tanks i knew i had to try this for myself eventually.today i got 10 spiderlings(thanks Philth!)
at the local show and i just setup a tank for them.i think it came out pretty nice
heres some pics

a closer look inside

i think its gonna work out good in here.theres alot of hiding spots for the spiderlings to construct there own areas.i will post an update after i release them in and they get all settled :]

Nice Chris. You might want to feed them once first before you release them into that jungle haha.

awesome enclosure! those H. incei are some lucky spiders

 

[Philth]

Hmmm, I thought they were still 2nd instar Chris. I seperated them at 2nd instar , so if theres little shed skins in there they should be at 3rd instar now.

Thank you guys!If you like incei def try keeping them together.Its alot of fun watching them especially during feeding time ;]
I just cant wait until they start reproducing in here.I'm completely amazed at how fast some of them are growing so I think it will happen sooner than I think!

Hi there Syndicate, sorry to ask. i'm not to clued up with gallon's and all that. could you give the Dimentions lenght depth and height..
Then where all ten just placed straight into the enclosure and been in there ever since. have you been able to count them and see that they are all still there.. Do you plan on Putting them in a bigger enclosure as they get bigger and reproduce ?
thanks..
