Heterothele villosella - Communal Enclosure
Well Ive always been interested in communal tarantulas, so today Ive been putting together a communal enclosure for the Heterothele villosella I intend to pair in a few weeks time. Ive made sure there's loads of hiding places, bark to web from and plenty of substrate to dig into. Once the female has been paired up with the male she will moving into this new enclosure, hopefully she will set up a family too!!!

Heterothele villosella - Failed Pairing Attempt
Well I had planned to wait a few weeks although the male made a sperm web during the night, the female is nearly three weeks after her moult so I fed her today and attempted a pairing tonight. The male immediately got his groove on although she wasn't feeling it so I'll try again in a few days.

Heterothele villosella - AF in Communal Enclosure
Decided to put the female in the communal enclosure the other night after yet another failed pairing (the male was lucky to escape minus a leg). Once she has settled in fully in the enclosure I will attempt another pairing, I may even cohabit the male for a bit depending on how that goes.

Grammostola rosea RCF - Pairing Female #1
This girl was paired back in the late summer although didn't look to have "taken". So with the male making a fresh sperm web after visiting female #2 I thought I'd give him another go with this female. Quite a fast pairing (5mins) and once he flipper her over onto her back he was sensible to make a sharp exit...
