I agree that Thistles are picky. I would also highly recommend you keeping them apart. I tried communal living just when they were under L3 and one of them lost 1/4 of her face (yes she is still alive and somehow eating, albeit always partial foods; readying for a molt). If you do the Thistles, low humidity, high heat and feed them often. Good Luck!

@Jaywo dang... that’s a interesting communal story. I am currently keeping presub/sub female thistles together and presub/sub males together. So far so good. Keeping my fingers crossed

I may have just had a very very mean girl in the mist. Hearing your good luck, I may try again to put them all in the same environment today.

What an interesting story, Jaywo! I hope she heals next molt!
