Update on communal setups.

[Talkenlate04]

Ahh it was time to clean the communal setups. You would be amazed how much T poo can build up in a setup that has 20 Ts in it. Wrangling them up was fun too. The regalis played along and were easy enough, but the pederseni were thinking differently and ran all over the room. But I got them all. Enjoy these two videos.

that is very cool!!

How big will you let them get before moving to a bigger setup?

It would also be fairly interesting for you to collaborate with other communal T keepers to come up with an established T hierarchy. Who knows, you could be the first to notice and document such a thing?

I know I am not the first to see the things I am seeing, but it is still cool to see them interact.

that is really awesome!! how big will your next setup be? did both of the communities come from only two respective sacs? either way, this is pretty sweet!!

Yes they were each from one sac. Ideally I will try with a larger setup and use some from more than one sac. But that will be down the road someday. This is plenty big enough for me for the time being.

The other day I was actually wondering how your project was, and it looks great. I've never seen so many molts from one setup either!

I sooo have to try that I have been meaning to put a communal tank together with some H. incies that I have just haven't got around to it yet.

 

[Singbluemymind]

thats awesome dude. I don't know if i would have the guts to wrangle twenty pokeys at the same time

 

[Daniel_h]

did you video yourself releasing them back into their tank ?

Very cool! I can't wait to try that with S. calceatum. I think I'll be able to around Christmas.

i didn't realize you could use Ts from more than one sac. everything i've read (which isn't much i admit) has said only slings from the same sac can be used. have you tried this? is it effective? how would the dynamic change if one used similar but different communal species for a single enclosure?

 

[ReMoVeR]

wow i would really be interested in any videos of u taking them out oh man ;O LOL it would be scary and funny at the same time!! awesome job in there*
