Lol. A lot of the expensive ones are tougher to breed and that’s why it’s expensive. It’s not about the money for me. It’s about the spiders

I know, thats why I'd much rather put in the work for them. Plus they also have smaller sacs. For me it would be fun to breed, but only if the eggsac wasnt 75+ spiders. Too much for me.

Curious, what species would you be thinking of (if any)? I'm also not sure that you can plan on only having under 75 slings with most species. Even if a typical clutch is 50, it might be 150 sometimes. Most people consider avics to be a good place to start because they have smaller sacs. Given, when I paired Avic M6 (my first sac) the majority were unfertilized and only had 4 make it to 1i and none to 2i, but there was over 170 eggs.

I know some Avics like purpurea have small sacs which is why they demand a high price tag. I've heard Seladonia are easy to breed but have small sacs, and stuff like that will be more difficult to find a MM of. Chilensis have smaller sacs but are notoriously difficult to breed. A lot of the big terrestrials Xenesthis, Pamphos, from what I understand typically have kind of smaller sacs with larger spiders but Xenesthis are notoriously difficult to breed.

I was thinking of t. Seladonias specifically. Would breed pokies if they had small sacs too. Might in the future if the hobby begins to dwindle, i have some maturing pokies rn and if the lacey acts go into effect id likely breed all of them, or send them to be bred.

I think i could count on t. Seladonia being under 75 slings, and even if they weren't, thats a pretty profitable problem to have.

Some pokies can also double clutch, but I’ve heard of 150+ For many species

Do you keep seladonia currently? They can be a little tricker to raise up to maturity. Another thing is due to their colors, they attract new keepers who aren’t necessarily interested in breeding. And the people who do breed wouldn’t sell them off the way that you can find adult P regalis or something. So finding a MM seladonia or something might be tough. But not impossible

I dont have any actual plans in the near future to start a breeding project.
