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."
Hey Mike,
I noticed you did not quote, or address this part of my post.

You should accept what you can not change or control, and concentrate your efforts and energy on the things that you can change or improve.
The market is what it is, and people have the right to sell their animals for whatever they feel is a fair value.

Man, you sold your male Spiders for $275. and still can't buy enough tubs to house your animals in seperate enclosures.
