Monocentropus balfouri communal setup

[Ian Hall]

Thanks Martin! I stumbled onto them accidently in a garden centre but I'm sure we can find a site online that supply them.

What are they called, If I have a name I can have a bit of a search.

What I've chosen to be the new set up enclosure for my M.balfouri community.

Update.

Now the new enclosure is set up I am going to leave it to dry out until I feel it is ready to rehome the slings.

I have also decided after a lot of deliberation to have no water dish in the enclosure but instead a mist once or twice a week.

Successful transfer yesterday afternoon! Proud to say 9 month on and all 10 are still alive and well. Not one problem, no sudden runners, no attitudes. All played along transferred one at a time. Over all the whole event went much easier and quicker than I thought possible.

Nice set-up I love comunarals I currently have 5 p rufilatas and 1 p regalis altogether. Been with each other for about 6 months now and all have moulted about 4 times. Keep the updates coming

Thanks marksimcox!

I have decided to remove one of the two plant pots from the balfouri enclosure as I believe it was creating a separation/divide between the slings and becoming more like two main territories than a single unit.

Both plant pots had no bottoms and both had the beginnings of tunnels created into the substrate below.

There is obviously the possibility that the two would meet out of sight.

I did this more for my peace of mind, one less worry etc.
