The Metallicas had never been sepperated and upon putting into enclosure all quickley assembled and huddled together in the bottom of cork bark tube
The Fasciata on the otherhand had recently been seperated but all from the same sac. Immediately they all seperated themselves from each other all around the enclosure. I was a little worried that if hungry they might attack each other as their was no communal behaviour.After 24h I emptied twenty micro crickets and imediatly a feeding frenzy began. Some slings eating two crickets at a time. I added another ten or so a few hours later.
48h Fasciata two groups formed a group of seven huddled on the outside and three in cork tube.
