  • So I am back after a short summer break and went round Graemes to film another feeding of the Monocentropus balfouri communal. Whilst there we also fed a few others.
    Thanks to everyone who popped in on the live on Instagram.

    Despite how much I’ve loved spiders and have been fascinated by their existence for years to the point of researching them constantly.. I’m genuinely amazed that I never learned that sometimes spiders will live in colonies and form a “Social Spider” group. But now that I know this, I’m even more amazed at how intelligent and fascinating these 8 legged creatures can be.

      There isn't a massive amount of data researched on these. They come from Socotra Island in Yemen and it is quite remote. But where there have been sightings, there has been webbing like in the enclosure suggesting that they do live together in the wild.

    The idea of a communal enclosure is so interesting to me! I am very impressed with your set up. Have you lost some tarantulas with this type of set up? Just curious.

    • @IanTarrantula
      @IanTarrantula  4 года назад +1

      I know. It was only a few years ago I thought exactly that! To be honest, we are not sure. When we housed them there were 65. I would like to think that there are 65 still in there but it would be impossible to tell without getting them all out and doing a head count.

    This is really cool especially since I have a little arachnophobia how do the tarantulas know not to kill each other

    • @IanTarrantula
      @IanTarrantula  4 года назад +1

      Thanks for watching. It is amazing how many people I speak to who have started to keep tarantulas to try and help cure theor arachnophobia. These are one of a few unique species that can be kept together. It is still unknown why. But maybe something that has been imprinted on them for many generations. Their natural habitat is a very small island and maybe they jave learnt to live together in a group rather than in solitary burrows. More research needs to be done but due to their rarity in the wild, it is very difficult.

      Nice. There were 65 when we housed them in here. I have a communal of 5 myself and they are very easy to keep.

    Hi Ian Great "but extremely squirmy" video. I love this type of video.
    I watched a clip a while ago and it showed a keeper collecting Balfour for a communal box counted them and individually boxed them. I could be wrong but I think he got passed 20 in the total amount, I cannot find it anywhere does it ring any bells with you? Was it you?
    Thanks again xxxx

      I think it possibly could have been one of mine when we rearranged this enclosure possibly 🤔

  • @yutelminaw

    Nice feeding video! I keep a communal of balfouri as well.. btw, I just want to ask coz it seems like all 4 of mine are females, is it okay to introduce a male straight on the enclosure? Or should I pick 1 to mate then return it on the same enclosure? Or should I just totally separate the mated female and have herself a separate communal?

    • @IanTarrantula
      @IanTarrantula  4 года назад

      Thank you. We have done exactly that. Introduced a unrelated male. He has been in there for the past 3 weeks now and he is still doing well. Since this video we have removed all the males (about 20 or so) and left 25 in there. We have so far seen no signs of any egg sacs but from what I we have researched they don't tend to drop sacs in communals. We are trying to test this and prove it is possible. But I would suggest removing one female and keep her solitary for a better chance.
