And if she doesnt molt

@Panama

I think you missing the point about about my arguement. Iv never had a successful hyridized sac.
I im trying to breed pure form as i have already breed stirmis, and at the moment I have 2 Strimi females
mated and 2 Blondi females mated and the one is probably going to spin a sac any day now( so i hope)

But if im observing a mature male Stirmi walking around his enclosure tapping and gets the response of a Blondi
female and a Apophysis which both females are tapping back at him, does that not get ones mind thinking? And iv also
witnessed Metallica males tap at a Rufilata female :blink: Im sure anyone who experiences these events does start to
wonder what will come of it.




@Tom
I understand your concern as its my concern about alot of species aswell, but like everyone that knows me and
a have a few good friends on this site that can stand up for me here, but if the 1 out of 100 chance I was able to get a sac
of a unique hybrid species, I would take responsibilty for it. I wouldnt give any random a spider without knowing what
will come of the hybrid down the line, literally 2 people( if i ever was succesful with a hybrid sac) would i give a sling too,
if they choose to take that sling, they will be well aware of what responsibilty they have. So watch out Dimitri and Johan.




Maybe im cruel or unfair or what ever you want to call me, but Let say i were to get Apophysis and Blondi crossed
and there is a offspring of 30, i would have the power of keeping say 5/10 and 20 left, now with that 20 i could be smart
and put those babies in the fridge and say a pray as i have decreased the hybrid population from spreading and left
myself with 5/10 babies to keep for my own personal gain.

At the end of the day, I understand everyones concern when its comes to making the hobby toxic with hybrids,
most hybrids are done out of the greed of making money, as i dont give a dam if I make money or not from the
hobby, as long as i have my collection with my theraphosas and pamps and if i can have one or two hybridized beauties
on my shelve as well, then thats a bonus.

hahaha, Panama, no need to applogise.

You can be harsh if you want, im wearing my big boy underwear today.

If..... the irminia was mated with a cambridgei by mistake and then the owner realised this so he mated her with an irminia male and she made a sack, I would think there would be a lot of cambridgei sperm in her. If she dropped after mating with cambridgei and for some reason the owner mated her with a male irminia and she double clutched, I would still think there would be a lot of cambridgei sperm left in her. Now I don't know if any of you guys have done genetics, lets say you breed two different species, not all of them should come out mixed, a quarter should look like the male, a quarter like the female, a quarter with both but mainly the male traits and a quarter both but mainly female traits, but... some traits will be more dominant than others... This is what would be interesting to see, I could be wrong, they could all be mixed up, but I would be interested to see the ratio, but I'm not going to test it

Come on Doctor T-Rad, you interested to see. Experiment in the name of science. But of course in a controlled
enviroment. shouting

I have been tempted with pokies, but the truth is, I only want 10 of them, what the hell will i do with the rest... I could put them in the fridge, but the whole experiment would just be for my own selfish interests. Plus if I really wanted to test out the theory, I would have to keep all of them alive and raise them to adulthood, don't have the space or resources for that, then what do I do when I have 80+ adults.
