Now that's got me wondering....

[Mark Pennell]

I've read somewhere (most likely on here) that Avicularia Avicularia (Common Pinktoe) can be kept in social groups providing you get the conditions right. I know this is extremely difficult to achieve but it has inspired 2 questions in me that I'd really like answering so I know whether I can or not.

1. Are there other species of tarantula that can be kept comunally (i.e. G. Rosea, G.pulchra etc.)?

2. Can tarantulas of the same genus be kept comunally (i.e 2 g.rosea with 2 g.pulchra) or is this an extremely stupid idea that will most likely leave me with four dead spiders?

Sory for the italics and thanks for any replies.

Avics yes the others you mention no no no!... unless you want a one big fat spider. Pokes do well in communally set ups but not all. Just search this forum and there is a wealth of info on communal set-ups.

Cheers
