At the end of the day i think hybridizing takes place in the wild as well and for me this is kind of evolution.

I think our dna project will shock us all.

A very cool take on hybrids is the movie Prometheus.

It interests me a lot, as I said in one of my previous posts :) Hybrids are cool, would love to see colours, no point lying and say I'm completely against it. I'm just against it because of the damage that it is capable of causing.

What if she didnt molt out T Rad, and a viable egg sac is produce, what would be the right steps to take
to ensure no hybrids get released into the hobby? Was this mating done because he new that
no outcome would happen, yet like I said before, I could mate two different species in confince
that there will be little or no outcome.

Why was the mating done in the first place if there was specutalion of them being two species?
Was there enough doubt that nothing was going to happen to this attempt? Am i so different
to Thanasi if i were to attempt Aphnoplema Chalcodes and Biocolouratum?

Everyone wants to believe what they want to believe and instead of paying close attention to what Im really
trying to get across, they would rather get upset and throw there toys out the cot because somewhere, somehow
they came across a spider they couldnt ID and made there blood rage against Hybrids in general.

I honestly have no idea what Mammons intent was and I'm not going to argue on his behalf, but I have my own ideas of it, I understand what you trying to say as well, I agree with some of it, buuut also disagree with some of it. I think we've all made our points and said what we wanted, I'm sure there will be hybrids overseas, already seen a few threads about it, so will be watching that and see what happens.

It does happen in the wild more than we think, and is apart of evolution. I dont want to thumbsuck like
i get accused of doing, but I think Brachypelma Baumgarteni is a natural hybrid that developed over years,
but i could be mistaken. Gets me wondering, if i take smithi and Bohemi and cross them, will Baugarteni
be the result or would I have to do selective breeding for generations to get that outcome?

So I was wondering, do you think any of our "pure species" are actually hybridized from two other Ts but became their own species? mmmm Something to think about, that DNA barcoding will be interesting.
