Balfouri communal project

[octanejunkie]

I decided to take the plunge and ordered 5 balfouri slings from @John2097 that arrived today. Thanks John!

They are all around 1" in size, one of them is about 1.5", and they are all in a 16oz deli cup ,for the time being, half full with substrate, a cork bark hide, moss and a water dish.

They have already started webbing the entrance to the cork bark cavern.

If they start spreading out on the regular I may separate them...

Here's a close up of the lovers

Let's see how this goes!

I have a another pair, my balfouri twins, that I will rehouse into a smaller enclosure, just the two of them

I will eventually rehouse all 7 together, if the first 2 projects are successful.

Forgot to mention, I upgraded all my balfouri with 3 exceptions into this top-opening 10" cube a while back

Feeding time is a hoot, but even on lazy Sundays these are some common sights

These communal are a blast, and watching them interact, lump around, steal food from each other, is pretty awesome.
