Wouw, I've been hunting for these and now I must find them! Very nice photos. :clap:
I know, but there are several Macrothele species near me so I've got my fingers crossed as I search.they are not from ur region, M.gigas can be only found in southern Japanese islands and Taiwan
Really? Where would you buy it? There is no hint of an exotic pet industry in Guilin and I don't really want to travel all the way to Guangzhou. They only have fish, dogs, and birds. I really don't want buy any WC, though. I don't want to support that economy. My goal would be to breed them myself. Is there really no way?u can buy Macrothele raveni(possivbly the black one angus posted) easily in china though, unfortunately they are all WC, and i'd say Macrothele has super slow growth rate from my experience in M.gigas, so the getting a captive breed and raised one are highly impossible
I do care a lot about the environment, but I also know that there isn't very much that I can do. The best that I can do is contribute in any way that I can. I will release some pedelings back into the environment (Even though people will complain and tell me that I shouldn't - though I'm up for an educated discussion on the topic) and/or collect from different location so that I don't really impact their population.well, i don't really get u , cuz u know wat?
first, how much do u know about the animals that makes u decide you want to breed them?
if so, do u know the growth rate of the species?do u think u can guarantee more slings can be raised well compare to those in the wild?
you don't want to support that economy but pet hobbyists in china do, and u are possible to buy some wc if u want a head start, if not, u are likely to catch one urself, also a wc
so don't u find it contradicting to ur principle?
and wat makes u think breeding them is right?to save the wild population of those species u prefer? opps, u forgot the whole eco system and fauna is much more important than just few species...let's say the water got poluted there, then everything is gone, and that is very likely to happened in china as we all know
ask for雷氏大疣蛛
if they don't have it, go to www.pxtx.com/ and ask
there is no hint of that in ur area cuz all of wholesellers send the animals to GZ, BJ, SH, HK or other countries after animals are collected
just want u to know, we are merely hobbyist, and there is very lill we can do, especialy in ur situation
and if u really wanna breed them, don't claim to be an environmentalist for the sac of saving the wc M.raveni
good luck anyway
and if u are not happy after reading this, then sorry about not understanding u much and this is wat u made me think
Yes, I see this every day and there isn't much about it that I can do. But, if I do anything, especially spreading awareness, it's better than just complaining about it and doing nothing.not to mocking up china on that, but it is the facts that had took place in history.
