New enclosure for my H. incei female, live potted just letting everything settle (never done a live plant tank before)
Thanks for the idea Mack, I copied your presentation :3

Hey, I was just wondering about that live plant enclosure. There doesn't seem to be any ventilation. I have seen plant only terrariums like this. Would it be safe? Would the live plants create an oxygenated ecosystem safe for a tarantula? Thanks! I've never heard of this before. Thanks!

Some new pictures

 

[LucasNorth]

Any ideas on species of this cutie?

 

[Storm76]

Very nice pictures in this thread and you seem to have a hand for catching them in hilarious situations

some communal

Some attempted mating

 

[Storm76]

How's the communal going? Any dead T's so far?

 

[LucasNorth]

If they are killing each other, they are cleaning up
They have been mating often, usually once a week all 4-5 of the MM will emerge and begin mating everything in sight(I have seen 3 mating pairs within inches of each other all do the deed). Didn't want to disturb them in the act but here are some shots right after these 2 mated. (she looks already gravid too me)

Nice - you'll probably have your hands full with spiderlings. That is, if you take the sacs out, I wouldn't leave them in there, but then I don't know if the other adults would prey on the little guys - I guess so however.

Problem is, I dont know when to pull the sacs, most of these females are impossible to see 99% of the time and they have a very complex tunnel network. That being said I have 2 females which I removed from the enclosure who are both gravid in 2 separate containers. I have another female (shown in the above pictures), who is not from the communal set up and I have bred her. So hopefully 3 egg sacs that will be easy access. The rest (I estimate 6-8 gravid females remain within the communal) I will let these babies fend for themselves, but probably add more food per week. Probably will add a few new layers of bark and wood for more surface area.


Here's a comparison of Holothele sp. colombia and Holothele incei at approximately the same size.

I can only imagine how hard it'll be for those little ones to survive. But, I'm assuming it is actually quite close to natural conditions in that regard maybe. Hoping the best for those offspring

 

[LucasNorth]

Walked in on these two last night, they were going at it for about an hour and didn't seem to mind me. This is within my communal

EDIT: Anyone notice that scar on her abdomen? I've seen a few females with them, maybe from fighting?
