    How would you label this species?

    Just to clarify, It WAS listed as Cyclosternum sp. "machala", and not macala on my website.

    Next Tarantula?

    Same guy that says, "Shop the classifieds. Not the big block dealers, shop the breeders"? Let me ask you something, Who's a dealer on these boards? By looking at the reviews, anybody that sells a spider. Same thing with breeders these days. I got a mountain of empty eggsacs behind me, so what am...

    Next Tarantula?

    :) I'm not sure who is a "big dealer" anymore, but buy from who you want to. Act like freebies are stupid, and your guaranteed to be satisfied with your purchase, is just a bunch of crap. Like waiting for your stuff? Like PayPal disputes? There is no big dealers. Only dedicated people and not so...

    Swift's Invertebrates

    Born in Utah, as a young kid, I had a fascination with the animal world. Since age 5, I have kept as pets, reptiles, arachnids, insects, birds, fish, among others, and at age 12 worked for several pet stores. In 1984, I was lucky enough to work at Zooherp, Inc. in Sandy, Utah with one of the old...

    Test: Two Hybrids Sterile, Not Sterile, Fertile and Infertile

    Sleep? What's that? You and I have talked about this stuff for hours, but I'm still against it. The reason nobody said anything about what Tom did, was he already did it, it's a done deal. You haven't yet. But I'm not your daddy, and I'm not an arachno cop either. To tell you the truth, I'm a...

    Test: Two Hybrids Sterile, Not Sterile, Fertile and Infertile

    God your long winded! First of all, I never said what you had WASN'T a hybrid, I said I didn't know. Yes they look odd, but just because a spider has a little different coloration, I don't jump on the hybrid bandwagon. They could be, and possible are, but that isn't the argument here. Your...

    Test: Two Hybrids Sterile, Not Sterile, Fertile and Infertile

    Jose, Speculation from you or Eddie, isn't proof. You have odd looking spiders, but if you don't know who the parents were, how do you know what the babies are going to be? You say "hybrids", but of what? How exactly can you be sure? Tom's story is different because he knows the guy where the...

    Test: Two Hybrids Sterile, Not Sterile, Fertile and Infertile

    I just want to ask you something Jose, what kind of proof do you have, other than slight difference in coloration, that the spiders in your photos are hybrids? Whether they are, or are not, I don't see any benefit it producing spiderlings, that don't have a purpose, to be hidden away, especially...

    Do I attempt to mate? I have an adult male and female Blondi-help

    I generally am a nice guy, but you have to admit, you singled me out for some reason? Maybe you just weren't thinking, ok. Inmature and unprofessional perhaps, I do admit I have been both at times. But here's the thing, when I respond to what I see as an attack, I'm crazy?....Why? Because I'm a...

    Do I attempt to mate? I have an adult male and female Blondi-help

    How's that not personal? You came right out and said it. If you were talking about dealers in general, why didn't you say that?I think the insults have gone both ways, being the unstable guy I am, right?

    Do I attempt to mate? I have an adult male and female Blondi-help

    Did I sell you something? So you basiclly attack my business, yet when I respond, I've got an attitude. Maybe I do, but just because I'm a dealer doesn't exclude me from responding when somebody out of the blue brings up my business in a bad light when it wasn't deserved. Professionalism doesn't...

    Do I attempt to mate? I have an adult male and female Blondi-help

    Yeah, that's about your typical response. You had it coming.
