Cross breeding what is the deal?

[Yanose]

I am wondering what all the fuss is over crossbreeding? As I understand it most folks around are against it and I am wondering why. Seeing as verry few if any of the captive born slings will ever be reintroduced to the wild I don't see why creating a new strain would be wrong or bad for the tarantulas. I am not advocating this. I am just curious becaus it seems to me that if some one has the skill and dedication to acctulaly pull this off it should be encouraged rather that rebuked. I mean think of all the beautiful species that allready exist. now how is it wrong to increase the diversity of spiders available for us Arachnonerds.

uh oh......

people are worried about someone selling off a crossbred t as a pure bred one

and its not very easy to cross breed and i think its impossible for diff genuses to procreate something about diff shaped pedipalps on the males:?

but yeah someone irresponsible could be selling off mix breeds as prue ones is usually the issue

(not to mention the avic sp is pretty mixed up as it is

 

[nichjohnsson]

Yeah,and they are not fertil for breeding

 

[clam1991]

id like to know how you know nichjohnsson
have you crossbred then raised the slings to try and breed them again:?

I think there's enough amazingly beautiful T's out there and that it isn't necessary to cross breed.
We would be taking the hobby for granted if we started trying to mix things up.

You could search out cross-breeding or hybrids and find out exactly why people are against it. There's only about 100 threads full of bitter, angry mud slinging on the subject. To me it seems pretty obvious but the question keeps coming up...

How do anyone know this isn't happening now? For all I know half of my specimens could be crossbreeds and the failed breeding attempts so far I've just chalked up to a range of things could actually be due to them being sterile crossbreeds.

This is just another reason why your should only buy from reputable dealers with a history of good transactions. Personally, I tend to only purchase from people I can verify as good dealers with confirmation from past buyers. In the case where a quick deal will happen I make sure I inspect the goods and never make a deal for the insanely rare or expensive species unless the dealer can be vouched for heavily.

 

[nichjohnsson]

I know because close friends tried to breed a mix of grammo. pulchra and grammo. grossa with a grammo. rosea

 

[nichjohnsson]

I'm against cross breeding
