breeding questions???

[TheWidowsPeak]

ok I was wanting to start breeding some T's, my main problem will be getting rid of the babies. since my first attempt will be with G. rosea, I would immagine that I will have a hard time getting rid of them. does anyone know if any dealers would buy the entire lot of them. I know I can get vials from bioquip so housing isn't a problem maybe swifty would take them off my hands, also how does one go about doing a breeding loan, is it customary for the one with the male to pay shipping or vise versa, in your experience what is the single easiest species to bred and get the most slings from? also is there any hope for making a profit in this or should I just do it for the love of the hobby? sorry about the rambling questions but I was never good in english class.

I am just a hobbyist, that has managed to produce (with the help of my Ts!) : 1 B albopilosum eggsac, 2 P murinus eggsacs, 1 A versicolor eggsac
What I've found is that dealers will buy in bulk and give you wholesale price for the slings. Even G rosea is good, we need more CB roseas. I somehow managed to send over 300 B albo slings to new homes, including wholesaling to dealers.
It's really helpful if you can find a dealer in your area, so you don't have to ship. Luckily, I found CBC (Cold Blooded Creations) that will buy quanities of nice, CB slings off me. However, the downfall is that I usually end up just trading the slings for something that I really want
For breeding loans, it's standard for the owner of the male to pay for shipping, and the owner of the female to pay for shipping slings.
As far as I know, IME, you spend enough time and effort that the profit is minimum at best, unless you can take care of thousands of spiders at a time.
