If this is your video, feel free to speak up and I'll give you credit but why wouldn't you post this on here as well???

Has anybody with a communal witnessed anything like this?? I've neither seen nor even heard of a spider orgy before!

Never seen that before but then again never kept this species or any other communal. First time I see/hear of something like this.

I was fortunate enough to have a sling gifted to me. Gonna be a little while but I hope to end up having a communal with (hopefully) her. Introduce a male and let them build the colony themselves instead of introducing a few slings at the very beginning.

This is just gold. I'm curious as to if this is common in the wild.

I would imagine this also happens in the wild on the odd occasion. groups of several mature males and females have been recorded sharing burrows in the wild... maybe without the mood music though
