Quote Mikey:
Being an amateur at best in this hobby / business, I guess I am still at the point where it makes me feel better to complain in public about the people screwing things up for everyone. Not so much to humiliate the guilty, but instead to try and show at least one of them the light. I am sure in a few years Adam I will be more like you on this subject, but for now I am still convinced that some of them can be saved. And more importantly our prices can be protected.
Good luck showing one of "them" the light.
Good luck "saving some."
and more importantly,
Good luck protecting "our" prices.

Oh Yeah, Good luck selling your male Spiders for more then $150. - $200.

You should worry more about the fact that you do not have enough enclosures for your animals.
You are housing and intend to breed your females two per tub.
Talk about slowing down.

You can call it research all you want, and your friends that would normally jump all over a noobie for the same thing, can defend you all they want.
The truth is that you are in such a hurry to produce as many animals as quickly as possible to make as much money as you can, that it is more important to you then the health of your animals.

That is why "protecting our prices" is so important to you, and in your own words, more important then "saving some, and showing at least one of them the light."
