I know what I'm doing and sad to tell you but I do have experience with spiders just because I got scammed it doesn't make it my fault
@SuleymanC I am sorry that you feel personally attacked and offended, but I am with @VanessaS on this one. Your experience with true spiders is not being questioned here. However, even if you are successful in your first breeding attempt (and breeding tarantulas is more than just putting a male and female in one enclosure and letting nature run its course), you lack the knowledge and experience with tarantulas to make a meaningful contribution to this hobby yet.I know what I'm doing and sad to tell you but I do have experience with spiders just because I got scammed it doesn't make it my fault
I'm going to share it with dealers only.. And only friends that can give good care.. I bred true spiders before and principle is probably similar.. I did my homework on how to breed tarantulas and I'll spread the slings to people that I can trust handling over.@SuleymanC I am sorry that you feel personally attacked and offended, but I am with @VanessaS on this one.

As it has been pointed out so very clearly, you need to have knowledge about the local market, legal implications of your actions, etc on top of knowledge about the care for tarantulas in order to be successful.
It is exactly your lack of knowledge about these specific areas that got you swindled into buying a male instead of a female. You are not alone in this, trust me. One of my first tarantulas was an 'unsexed' juvenile Brachypelma emilia. A few years into the hobby, I realised that it is very unlikely that a tarantula this size is unsexed. It may be difficult to sex very small spiderlings, but it is very unlikely that an experienced keeper has a 3" tarantula without knowing its gender. I know better now, but I was very green then. The fact that I know all about the care of, say, cats and goldfish did not prepare me for this. Only keeping tarantulas teaches you what you need to know about tarantulas.
We don't have very strict rules about keeping tarantulas in Bulgaria, but I would really appreciate any input from other hobbyists if I was about to do something stupid. Yes, @VanessaS was a bit direct, but if you read what she said you will see that this is not because she wanted to offend you, but because she feels very strongly about this topic. This is not without reason, so please listen to what she says and leave the breeding of tarantulas for a later moment when you've gained better understanding of the consequences of your breeding plans.
If they want them...I'm going to share it with dealers only.
There is a difference, though. Responsible dealers may know where it is allowed to send tarantulas to (and they may not send them to municipalities that enforce a ban).And there is no difference if I'm the guy that gives tarantulas or dealers.. Tarantula is tarantula..
Well, obviously you're damn right about politicians in general but here those (and the establishment in general) at least listened to the Italian arachnid community voice.I agree that it takes a movement of people rather than one single person. One voice is easy to ignore. Many voices can become a deafening roar.
However I did see mention on here just recently about someone who got a species of very large beetles legalized by continuing to write the government. It's not impossible. And if everyone thinks "I can't change anything." and no one tries at all then you're ruined before you even begin.
Politicians make a lot of decisions mostly without having any personal experience. You might have a different government (Monarchy, Democracy, etc) but politicians are usually the same regardless of what country you're in-- a pain in the butt.
