[QUOTE="Loafman, post: 113865, member: 18247"] Hi guys, hope everyone is well. As some of you will already know, I have recently set up a communal Pokie regalis enclosure. There seems to be quite a few people who are also interested in getting a communal setup going, so I thought I'd start a thread for people to show off their communal setups and share hints and tips on the best ways to do it. :p I'll start! Lol! I put 10 x P. regalis slings (siblings afaik) in a single enclosure on March 11th 2017, and there seemed to be no problems, they were all bunching up and chilling out together. They were all roughly 16mm (5/8") leg span. They still appear to be getting on fine, although these guys are quite small and are getting into all sorts of nooks and crannies in the bark and hiding behind a fake plant that's on one side of the bark, and as they are quite well camouflaged (they show up much better with a flash), I am unable to do a proper count to make sure all 10 of them are still thriving :oops: :confused: I guess until they are ready for transferring to a larger enclosure, I will not really be able to do a definitive count.. so here's a current pic of some of them in the mean time.. [ATTACH=full]23065[/ATTACH] It would be great if others would like to add their communal pics, help and tips, as it would be great to see more of the communal setups out there. Maybe we can also generate a list of different species that can be kept in this way and any special care/precautions that need to be taken into account for different species. :D All the best, Loaf.. :T: [/QUOTE]
