N incei communal.

[MassExodus]

I ordered ten N incei slings for a communal. When they arrived 2 of them had molted in their straws, one was hardened, the other looked halfway there. I released them all except the little soft looking one, who I placed still in his straw, inside the enclosure with it open. He came out an hr later, so i removed it. The freshly molted sling was found on his back in the water dish, kicking his legs, this morning. I removed him and he crawled around normally. Ive been monitoring him ever since, they're on my desk. Just wanted to share this, I've never found one on its back in the water like that. Don't know if that one will make it. The rest settled in, and seem to have no issues with each other, all have been fed except the little swimmer. I'm watching him closely.

I shall watch this with interest. When I got my N. incei I had thought about a communal but I chickened out and kept them separate. I hope things go well for yours.

Thanks Enn, I think they'll do fine. They crawl over each other and show no aggression so far. I'm hopeful..

 

[IamKrush]

Awesome!! Hope they are some pictures soon.

Very soon

Congrats bud be exciting to see how they behave and fingers crossed the little one

Thanks brother, they're settling in well. I had thought the enclosure would be perfect, but its a little large. I'm supposed to be keeping them as close to each other as possible. I'll post pics soon.

 

[IamKrush]

What are you currently keeping them in?

The cheap, clear one gallon plastic container from wal mart that Jon3800 likes so much. They'll grow into it though. Pics incoming today sometime

This is awesome! Will enjoy following any updates on them.
If/When I do a communal, this is a species I have considered for it.
Hope the the soft youngster makes it.

They make great communal species my male and female have been together for about 2 months now hopefully she is gravid but no signs of aggression what so ever

Excellent. I've researched as much as possible, I found no failed communals for that species. The balfouri look good too, I just have trouble paying more money for pretty hiders..

The key is to keep the hiders enclosure very basic and let them do the decoration with the Web all I did as put a bit of substrate in and four little pieces of cork bark in each corner for them to anchor there Web to the out come is a beautifully heavily decorated webbed enclosure they obviously still hide but it looks pretty impressive

Agreed. And the balfouri are pretty enough to offset the hiding. I'd just have to make an effort to catch them out at night, like my irminia, regalis, lividus, well, almost all my old worlds, except the P metallica She doesn't hide. I watched Tom Moran's channel, he has a good video where they're(balfouri) all out. Impressive, they're gorgeous spiders. Hiding little ****s. Oops, my tourettes..
