I know, but everyone has different styles of taking care of they're pets and I just like studying and taking care of the tarntulas, if i end up with a rare or good aged female then it just makes it cooler. I can tell I'd probably be more up tight about it if I really got into the hobby. But, 4 or 5 beautiful tarantulas is what I'm aiming for, and I hope I can find a female OBT one day to breed with my boy!!
See,,,, that's where I disagree. You can get some oddities and new species this way. Plus a new person getting into this hobby usually starts there then finds out about this wonderful site during searching the web for good info and pics.
I hear ya man, and for the m ost part my comment was only made because I just hatched some H. lividum haha
You guys don't play fair though. People like you, Chris, Eric, et al always have the coolest bugs that somehow magically appear in your collection. And then a photo appears in the gallery of a spider that exists in only one specific crack on the north face of Mount Moosabignose on the southern most island 60,000 miles from any other land...I hear ya man, and for the m ost part my comment was only made because I just hatched some H. lividum haha
My first spider came from a pet shop and to this day I still check out pet shop spiders hoping to find something they got by accident. With that said I pretty sure anybody would agree that importing thousands of one species every year is a unhealthy practice.
