Step 1: Don't.

Really though -- they aren't communal animals. You'll most likely end up with one fat spider.

Poecilotheria Metallica are definitely not communal, they will tolerate each other at a smaller size but as they get bigger you're going to end up with one fat spider.

Get Monocentropus Balfouri, although many would argue there not communal, I'm just n the other side of that. I have one just now with 5 in it and it's coming along great.

check out Mark's Tarantulas and his last video on his P. subfusca communal, thats pretty much how it ends

Poster has an eggsac. Guess poster views this experiment as more fun than selling/giving/culling ??? Communal = culling, imo.

Where did you get your information on Poecilotheria communals? I'm just curious to know what the source is.
