    Other than putting crickets or roaches in with them to eat, no. Tarantulas are solitary creatures, anything else in an enclosure will either kill or be killed by the tarantula.

    Erik is totally right. Tarantulas need to be housed alone.

    Tarantulas will even eat each other, so they need to be housed separately.

    Yep!
    Pretty much the *only* thing you can put in with a tarantula and not have it eaten or have it nibble on the spider, are pill bugs. They make for wonderful garbage collectors. However, they would not fair so well in a B. albo container because it would be too dry for them. They do very well in higher humidity containers and do a great job of getting rid of food remains.

    You can't put cury hairs together but Guyana pink toe tarantulas can be housed together. As far I know this species is the only tarantula that can be house with one another. :rolleye2:

    There are other tarantula species that can be housed together, but do have to be set up in a well designed container, must be the same size and generally, of the same egg sac having never been seperated from one another.

    In short, housing other tarantula species together takes more work and requires a very watchfull eye.
