    Re: I did a write up on the spider, double check it for me?

I don't think it is fair to brand those who are opposed to their propagation as closed-minded and hypocritical.

    I think that it might be better to explain that the majority of spiders have very minor clinical signs, eat and breed great (suggesting that they are thriving, unlike the pearl), and that the severely affected animals are few and far between. Let readers draw their own conclusions as to the ethics of breeding spiders -- those who are against it will continue to be against it regardless of your "official" position in the writeup, and taking up a defensive position looks a bit confrontational IMO.
    maybe if i put the words "I feel" in front of it? tho it is pretty much the definition of hypocritical lol. and yes this is exactly what i was looking for ty

    how would you feel it reworded this way... If you don't like them, no one is forcing you to own or like them, but if you think there is something wrong with others owning them, I feel that is closed minded and hypocritical. This morph has been doing great in the ball python world since 1999
