i have a predisposition to never want any spiders or morphs

[Craiga 01453]

Without stepping up on a podium (OK, maybe a little), most people with this opinion have never owned a single Spider morph. Yet, at the same time, are more than ready to get on their soapbox and preach about the issues they have with the morph and anyone working with it. It's their right to do so (and it is recently becoming trendy to do so), but you'll have to forgive me if you catch me shaking my head and smiling. Simply stated, Spiders thrive and breeders working with them have consciences. If they felt that these issues were detrimental (or common) enough to have a negative impact on their quality of life, they wouldn't continue to breed them - that's been proven many times over with other morphs with more serious issues.

For some more reading on this subject, here's a fantastic article written by one of the most respected breeders in the hobby: https://jkrballstreetjournal.com/201...spiders-silly/.

Thanks Eric. You always have some great insight and knowledge to share. I actually read that article just recently and it changed my thoughts on the spider morph as well. Great read. Actually, I shouldn't say it changed my thoughts, I should say that the article opened my eyes and educated me while dispelling some of the "trendy" myths that I too had been hearing.
