C. lividum

[dustinv91]

why are MM so rare? I’ve been looking for one for a while and can’t find one. Seems pretty common to find slings and females I wouldn’t think it would be an issue finding a male. Is there some kinda ban on the species or some factor that I’m not aware of that makes them rare?

 

[Olan]

Definitely no ban. Not sure why you’re not having any luck.
And I can’t find a female for my male C. schioedtei! Poor guy.
Well, I found one female, for one of my males. But this is my second male. So maybe I’ve saturated the market.

I think a very Anti-male attitude throughout the hobby is the most likely thing to blame, as well as many not wanting to be a part of breeding.

Edit: Just out of curiosity. what are you looking for?

Edit edit: Nevermind. its in the thread title.

In Europe aren't that rare, uh

Somebody actually just stole one of them from a local pet store here... (I hope it bites them)

Some species are like that, for whatever reason. Pterinochilus lugardi is one I have had trouble with over the years finding a male, and now I finally have one. You just have to raise multiples and hope you get a male!

You just have to raise multiples and hope you get a male!

Yeah, its funny, the average collector gets a bunch of slings in hopes of a female....breeders get bunches in hopes to get males.

Ha, I had never thought of it before, but you are absolutely correct!
