My hybrid boy matured

[Elaine]

My gorgeous little hybrid Brachy has just had his ultimate moult so I'm now feeling rather sad for him. He looks to be a cross of albop/vagans so is destined to live here alone without having the chance to breed. Poor wee guy.
He is very hansome and quite a feisty character so I hope this moult doesnt change him too much.

He is quite the handsome feller!! Poor guy.

Yip they could end up looking like this guy if you have the same cross. I will post up more pics in a few days or so once he has hardened up

Thanks. I think its going to be hard watching him wandering and looking for a female. Its such a shame.

he's gonna die a virgin, too sad. hehe but at least even in a small way you could stop hybridizing. hehe

Yip its sad but I'm not into breeding hybrids and adding to the problem so he will have to stay lonely

thats's a good decision though. hehe how come people out of greed hybridize tarantulas and not thinking the negative effects that could happen. where did you get him btw?

Out of greed? How do you figure that greed it the main reason people have done this?:? I have done it and not made one cent.

This little guy was left on my doorstep in April 07 as a 2 inch cutie so possibly came from a pet shop originally. I had no idea what he was but he looked similar to B. vagans until he moulted a couple of times and started showing some B. albop characteristics.

I dont think that hybridisation is always done out of greed. He could be the result of someone's ignorance or someone who is curious and just wanted to see if it was possible. There are a few hybrids out there and I think that when you get species that look very similar then someone who don't know enough to identify them breeds them. I dont think its always done for a bad reason.

 

[daniel15]

i guess so, but some people really hybridize them to make more good lookin spider and to boost up their sales, but i'm not concluding that all of them do it for greed. hehe

he really is gorgeous but im curious whats the big deal with making hybrids. I am new to the whole t thing so im curious. Is it just cause its less of a pure breed if that is the case isnt that kinda of nazi-esque? Moving on why is it that he will not be able to breed? Like i said i am not familiar

Personally I'm against hybrids but, I have to admit that hes quite impressive looking.

 

[Elaine]

Thanks everyone He is gorgeous and a fabulous character. Quite feisty for a Brachy.

Yip, he was left on my doorstep in a little tub. He even had a note sayng "My mum doesn't like him. Can you look after him." so he stayed I usually rescue parrots lol.

 

[daniel15]
