Brachypelma smithi.

Immature male.
Beautiful, beautiful boy. Hopefully he has a date lined up for him in the future ? ;)
 
Fortunately, he has. She came from the same eggsac, though.
Let's say that currently, no other smithi eggsacs are being produced, so is inbreeding from the same eggsac still bringing "ethical" issues ? Does it really muddy down the bloodline ? Not messing with you, genuinely curious.

I know you're not messing with me, lol.
Here's my two cents:
I live in a place where some species are really hard to find and if I want to keep these species in here, sometimes, I don't have other choice then inbreeding them.
I don't think it's an "unethical" issue per se, but it is a controversial one, indeed.
