I don't know who this same breeder is, but my three spiders are not upside down in the middle of the night. I don't sleep well, I get up in the middle of the night and check my snakes.

I have decided not to breed caramel albinos for my own personal reasons, but I won't judge other who decide they want to work with them. I will be breeding spiders into some crosses.

All of my breedings are carefully planned to produce animals for my number one customer - ME. If I want to create a particular cross, and I need a spider to do so, then I will breed my spiders as I work towards that goal.

Regarding stress. OK, I concede that you didn't say stressed, you said it affected their quality of life. How do you tangibly measure their quality of life? Other than a little wobble when excited, my three eat (aggressively, I might add), breed, grow, have not ever had a RI or other illness (knock wood). They are also the three most inquisitive of all my collection.
