1st Instar question

[Jamie Cooper]

Hi guys,

Is there anything against seperating 1st Instar spiderlings from each other? Is there any advantage gained from leaving them together until they are 2nd Instar? The species in question is Haplopelma lividum.

Many thanks, Jamie.

I separate slings asap to limit any cannibilism amongst siblings, other people may do it different but I cant see anything stopping you from separating at the L1 stage.

Thanks for the quick reply Pete.
