My first update on my M. balfouri communal!
For those who didn't see the earlier video, I have nine 1" slings in an 8" x 8" x 12" acrylic enclosure. Within 24 hours, it appears that most (I counted eight, but the ninth could have been there our of view) have found each other and have taken residence in a single den. I have caught several feeding together without incident. When they encounter each other, they feel each other with their front legs in a manner that almost resembles tarantulas mating.
I spent a lot of time in my tarantula room before getting these guys; now I'm in there constantly. :)
