I believe nobody as it's out of "the common rule" we have for such and similar species even we knew about P. nigricolor reported to live communally.

[KJ Vezino]

Not trying to add fuel to either side of the debate, but has anyone tried to keep any other species of Pamphobeteus comunally? P. antinous perhaps?

Hello Everyone!!!

Hi Craig,
This my be my first time posting on this forum, but this thread is the best
i have read. (thank you)
I wish you all the luck with the CS, and all the work you are doing with them.

I have been keeping spiders for 30+yrs. (a bit new to the internet and forums). IT is great to read and hear such a strong convection for a
species. That is in dyer need of protection i salute you.

Webbing Regards,

Fascinating thread, REALLY! I can't wait for someone to try other Pamphobeteus sp. communally.

[Chris Allen]

yes there certainly is alot to learn about these creatures still.i could imagine it would be quite a site to see a giant colony of these living together in the wild.i think the social aspects of theraphosids is a very interesting subject that i would like to learn more about.

Hi Chris...
If it's go over 10+ years back starting our hobby in WWW the were some Pamphobeteus species calling "P. nigricolor" and it was blamed to live colonial in the wild by exporters. Maybe some other who worked with those SA exporters had more info (I mean Mark Hart, USA, and some others incl. discussing this topic too...)
I don't have any info about that several of them inhabits the same burrow, but I see no reason why not...
We had this notorious and famous CS also for a looooong time in hobby, even in Russia, but nobody had a clue to start keep them communally before...
I do not reffer to P. petersi once again as it is makes no sence.

In fact we still know about tarantulas very little and if goes over the "standard point of view" what other we can expect? I believe - anything as the whole world start to collecting some real knowledge of them just fairly recently...

Ignore me... i start to talk much again...
