Hello all, I have a mature male M Balfouri and a store has accepted to take him for a breeding project but I’m trying to decide if I should do a 50/50 slings and start my own communal or go for another species. I like the balfouri but to be honest this make spent a lot of time hiding. I’m just unsure if I will have a big tank with webbing and no spiders hanging out. Does anyone have experiences to share with me? Is it worth it? I would get 65$Canadian for the breeding loan credit. Thoughts? Not sure why I feel so unsure but maybe others opinions will help. Thanks!

I don’t have an M. balfouri communal personally, but I know some ppl that do, and they’ve told me that they’re much more active and visible when set up communally. If you have the space and an enclosure that’s large enough, I’d say go for it!

I would not find it worth the risk of ending up with one fat T.

Outside of communal being risky. I find my balfouri come out often enough. Their webbed enclosures are beautiful and I see them somewhat frequently :)

Thanks all for the input! I actually was sort of unsure all along. I keep wondering why I’m just not as excited about that option. So I thin twitch everyone’s input I’m choosing my option of credit. Thanks all!
