Yes, i have really good experience in communally breeding with Poecilotheria genus, much better the breeding them just one in alone so i believe they will grow faster and healthier

Lucky. I want to do my first communal/breeding attempt. I only have one, about a 1 1/2 in sling. Got it for $140. It's gonna be a while until I can get my show on the road. Lol but I'm so in love with this species. So beautiful and so fascinating.

...That is literally the coolest thing ever. I looked up a video and it seemed like they linked up several web tunnels! I have to get a few.

An M. balfouri communal is the only Tarantula purchase that I have full authority at anytime to get. I think I saw them on Ken the Bug Guy's site for 69.99 each as 2i a few months ago. I'm kicking myself for not getting them!

Great pics, great set up. I'm wholly and completely jealous of you.

Love the baby balfouris! I have a communal going, too, and expecting a few more babies this coming week. Those are great prices! Was that $35 each or for the lot? Congrats!

Considering you could have paid $100 or more per sling, I'd say that's a great deal.

7$ a piece?!?!?! You lucked out there my friend! At one time my personal quest was to find an m. balfouri. I finally found a sling for over 50$. Have fun with your new additions! c:

I think it was 35$/piece.

It's quite normal price in Europe, but average income in Central/Eastern Europe is also lower than in US.
