I would like to know if there is a risk or some sort of danger to have WC tarantulas in a collection? I have 4 adult male tarantulas (I strongly believe they are C.portoricae - puerto rican pygmy/common brown) and would like to possibly make them available to someone who is hoping to breed. They're eating and drinking fine, no signs of mites or DKS..

What do you guys think?

the only risks I can think of is mites or other parasites. Dks is a worry but I am not sure if it is indeed communicable or enviromental. Maybe exposure to pesticides is a worry. I have seen insects in yards that have been sprayed with pesticides that were suffering no immediate harm. The best you can do is keep an eye on the w.c. one for a while and see
