To all newbie in tarantulas and scorpions!

base lang pud sa akong experience sa pag communal sa scorps, mag depend gyud sa specie... dili gyud tanan pwede nimo ma communal.... mao ni cla:

*Androctonus austrialis (Female almost killed the male after mating)
*Androctonus bicolor- (high cannibalism in 3rd to 4th instar)
*Centruroides margaritatus - (cannibalism in early stages 2i,3i,4i but works better during adulthood)
*Centruroides vittatus - (High cannibalism during 3rd to 4th instar, also works better during adulthood)
*Hadogenes paucidens - (CAnnibalism in mixed sizes, haven't tried mating an adult pair hehe)
*Heterometrus longimanus - communal from 2i to adulthood (0% cannibalism)
*Heterometrus spinifer Adults - (0% cannibalism, 10 pcs adults communal)
*Hottentotta hottentotta - communal from 2i to adulthood (high cannibalism, works better if i communal nimo cla during adulthood na)
*Liocheles australisae - (high cannibalism especially in mixed sizes)
*Pandinus imperator - communal from 2i to subadult (0% cannibalism, but i have experienced some pairing problems when the female almost killed the male >.<)
*Pandinus cavimanus - pair communal (High risk of cannibalism, female ate the male >.<)
*Parabuthus transvaalicus - (some cannibalism in early stages but communal pair is doing good, haven't experienced yet multiple pairs nga gi communal)
*Vaejovis confusus - (some cannibalism in early stages, but works better in adulthood)

I have also tried a communal Adult male Centruroides vittatus and Adult female Centruroides gracilis with no problems at all but I haven't seen the male displaying sexual attraction to the female hahaha...but i'm not encouraging you to do this..

But as I say, dpende ra gyud... not all the time gyud nga ingon ani permi ang situation...

patience lang gyud ta! if wala kai patience to wait kai murag dili ka magdugay ane na hobby.

Absolutely!!! Samot na kanang tapulan mag research, dili gyud magsilbi ani nga hobby....

sir big, does that go with scorpions also? kung mature na hinay kaon? or trant ra?

yes bro pag mag adult na ang scopions lesser na ila feeding, 1 to 2 weeks and naka suway ko ni abot ug months dili mukaon. Pero normal rana since they dont need to grow naman so di naa kaayo mukaon. Depenede pud na sa species bro.

[fire starter]

Add lang ko sa point ni emigz na lahi2x gyud bsag same species, sa ako androcs wala ko kita aggression towards the male after mating pero akong p.trans paksit ang male nakaon gyud.hehe
conclusion ane: you can read from our experiences regarding communal and get the idea pero dont expect na same results. Whats working for us may not work for you. Research lang gyud.

Mao ni akong formula ayy:

Research + Guts + Try = if it fails, don't do it again; if you succeed then COOL!!!

ako gi communal so far kai Liocheles Australasiae

Observation:

high cannibalism, even to adults of the same sizes.

reduced cannibalism = adequate food.

horizontal hides = more secure than vertical hides.

(observed that aggression is induced in vertical territories, mabantayan nako kai ang enclosure tapad ranako sakung katre nig katug hehe)

Overall, LA's are not fit for communal set-ups.
