What if MM g. Pulchra and MF g. Pulchripes cross breeds? What do you call the slings?
What if it happens in the wild?mutants worthy of the freezer.
hybrids are bad for the hobby in every way, they offer nothing good.
Wildly, wildly unlikely. Even if it did happen, the chance of an individual surviving to adulthood is quite rare, let alone it being able to breed. A breedable hybrid in the wild is so rare that it's not even really worth discussing.What if it happens in the wild?
While many hybrid animals are infertile, that is not universally true.Cross breeding surely happens to some extent, but as far as I know the offsprings are sterile.
Nobody wants FrankenTs in the hobby, people that do that are irresponsible to say the least.What if MM g. Pulchra and MF g. Pulchripes cross breeds? What do you call the slings?
I don't think you should kill them. Just sell them as hybrids.mutants worthy of the freezer.

This could still lead to the possibility of being introduced into the hobby and being sold under different names, namely the parent sp., which could still lead to polluting the pure bloodlines. Not worth the risk.I don't think you should kill them. Just sell them as hybrids.
Even if they are initially labeled as hybrids, there is no guarantee that all subsequent owners will do the same, that the hybrids won't also be bred, or that any second-generation hybrids will all be labeled correctly.I don't think you should kill them. Just sell them as hybrids.
I agree with @Ungoliant .. People are not to trust. Some don't care if they mess up the genetics of the future tarantulas, as long there are cool colorful hybrids they wish to sell for large sums of money.. Which to me is ridiculous. Why pay more for a hybrid? Pure species are much more valuable..I don't think you should kill them. Just sell them as hybrids.
The babies will reach adulthood and are capable to reproduce. Sterile not true it's been proven.Cross breeding surely happens to some extent, but as far as I know the offsprings are sterile. Also, different sp. of Ts generally live in different parts.. Pulchra being native to Uruguay and Brazil, whereas pulchripes resides in Paraguay and Argentina.
I've read that some domestic species of spiders that cross breed cannot reproduce any further. I figured that this applies to Ts as well.The babies will reach adulthood and are capable to reproduce. Sterile not true it's been proven.
i disagree. thoughts like that will lead to there being only one Brachypelma in the hobby, Brachypelma sp mutt.I don't think you should kill them. Just sell them as hybrids.
Kind of like now. Try finding a proper B. vagans, B. boehmei, or B. albopilosum. Not impossible, but the mutts outnumber the propers by far.i disagree. thoughts like that will lead to there being only one Brachypelma in the hobby, Brachypelma sp mutt.
