I have seen ts with no eyes but I do not know if that is a result of inbreeding.
That's from a very old thread. Again, people have been breeding tarantulas from the same sac for years and years now. Producing countless generations, if there are effects they would have been showing by nowYes you are correct. It would take years to see the effects of inbreeding. I'm not telling anyone what to do. For me I do not want to purchase any CB T's that came from inbreeding.
Read this, it is interesting to read the conversations. Read what Craig Mackay wrote especially. What he says is what I agree with.
That could be a simple deformity.I have seen ts with no eyes but I do not know if that is a result of inbreeding.
Old but still relative today and for the future until more in-depth research can be done.That's from a very old thread. Again, people have been breeding tarantulas from the same sac for years and years now. Producing countless generations, if there are effects they would have been showing by now
It's likely that most of your collection comes from inbreeding somewhere down the line. Without consistent WC imports to promote genetic diversity it's bound to happen.Old but still relative today and for the future until more in-depth research can be done.
And maybe defects have shown but no one was paying closer attention connecting inbreeding to their tarantulas. Colorations, less resistance to parasites/diseases, sizes, fertility and so on.
All I'm saying on this planet all lifeforms, minus the hemophrodites like snails I believe, inbreeding promotes dysfunction.
In the hobby it is accepted to only increase the population in the hobby only.
If anyone was to do a preservation program releasing tarantulas back into their natural habitat then inbreeding is a big no no.
For all I know some of my T's might of come from someone's inbreeding, (my highly defensive T. albopilosus comes to mind).
All I know if I am afforded the opportunity that a breeder I'm buying from gives me that information when requested I can decide for myself. Not deciding for anyone else just me and I prefer non-hillbilly inbreded tarantulas, just sayin.
I am, my female is a good 2" now. Want to see her? LolNote to Marco: are you planning on breeding the Cotztetlana aswell?
Yes I would !I am, my female is a good 2" now. Want to see her? Lol
very much so, what size do you plan to try breeding at?Ain't that a pretty sight?

I'm not actually sure because you know that we literally have very little source about them. I'll just wait maybe for a sign that the spermathecae is sclerotized.very much so, what size do you plan to try breeding at?
Do you have a pic of your Cotztetlana sp. morelos please? I have the Cotztetlana sp. Puebla so interested in the differences. Mine recently moulted (also female) and is just getribg her 80s leg warmers through.Thought you might find this useful. My Cotztetlana sp. morelos molted and got a really good shot of the spermathecae View attachment 407104
I was actually thinking that they might be the same species before but now I'm don't think so. This was her before it's most recent moltDo you have a pic of your Cotztetlana sp. morelos please?

I bet there the sp from that inaturalist link I sent you, we'll have to see thoughI was actually thinking that they might be the same species before but now I'm don't think so. This was her before it's most recent molt View attachment 407133
I saw her out the burrow last night since her most recent molt and I can say with some certainty that they could very well be the same species.I bet there the sp from that inaturalist link I sent you, we'll have to see though
