I walked into my nearest petstore to pick up some crickets, and I saw the most amazing thing - a huge hexagonal tank marked "Pinktoe Tarantulas". This store had carried a few basic Ts before, but this was the first time I had seen a petstore risk a communal setup. They did a great job landscaping the tank - plenty of corkbark and leaves and hiding places, and a nice water dish with no sponge - this place really tries to do their best for their animals.
As I was staring into the lovely greenery, counting one cute little avic after another, a very charming salesperson walked by and stopped to mention there were *eight* of the fuzzy little guys living happily in this little home. And apparently they had been doing so for several weeks.
I idly mentioned that the jury was still out on communal pinktoes, and the salesperson said that was why they were neurotic about making sure there was enough prey. I congratulated her on a nice set up and wished them luck in keeping all of them alive.
I'm definitely going back to see how this little experiment turns out - maybe put some batteries in the old digital camera to see if I can grab some shots for you guys.
