Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nicolas C" data-source="post: 91093" data-attributes="member: 3795">You took the right decision. I'd say exactly like Johnnyp or Kormath. Even for Poecilotheria, the communal keeping is controversial.I have one tank with 10 Poecilotheria sp bara (= sp subfusca lowland) since little slings more than one year ago. I can tell for sure that there's 5 left at least (confirmed), maybe more (but hidden), but I don't know. The key is to keep them together since slings, from the same sack, to give them only one hide (rather tight) otherwise they can make sorts of "clans" (and this could give a clash... of clans ;-)) and to change the enclosure the less than possible. I just took out a mature male yesterday... he was fine, but his sisters where not mature yet, then he was only a meal on 8 legs for them...In your case, you would have had even more problems due to the fact that your two Avics are not from the same sack, were not kept together until now, and even are not the same sp.It seems the best communals T are Monocentropus balfouri like Johnnyp said. They are amazing...!</blockquote>
