Hello Mbullock! Any update on your cellar spiders? I currently house 2 wild-caught cellar spiders and I have also noticed their social behavior. I have one large unsexed spider and one juvenile. I plan on introducing more to the enclosure as it is quite large. When they come across each other they tend to dance around, I assume trying to figure out what is sitting in front of them. After a short dance and a little leg rubbing, the juvenile usually backs away and gives the adult/subadult its personal space.
