So, I was hanging out at a LPS yesterday checking out their T's and some lady comes in and starts talking about tarantulas to the clerk. I'm just sitting back and listening and all the sudden she drops some info about tarantulas that I never heard before. She says "A herpetologist I met said that when female tarantulas get ready to die they change back into a male." I couldn't help myself, I interrupted her and told her I didn't know where this herpetologist got his degree but he didn't know what the hell he was talking about and he should get his money back. I think the worst part was that the clerk didn't even try to correct her he simply said that they could be born as males too. I don't think that he wanted to upset her but it's kinda irresponsible to let someone run around spouting nonsense like that. Anyway, thought you guys might get a kick out of that bit of info. Next time I have a female on the verge of dying I think I might try to breed her to another female and see if magic happens lol.
