Spider breeding

[DLena]

Not a single super spider has gone full term, they don't hatch, so how could they eat? With everything you are saying you seem to be very misinformed about what actually happens. I would suggest you look into the facts first then form an opinion. I'm not saying there isn't an ethics debate, but you still need correct facts to discuss it.

I don't see where I ever specifically mentioned spider x spider. I am talking about any known pairing that routinely produces deformed offspring. My facts are accurate. I'm sorry that my presentation of them was too "rough draft" and created your misunderstanding.



I know of four cases where SuperSpiders have left the egg (some of those may have been cut by the breeder, I never asked that detail) and I have rumors of three others that I have not been able to confirm. So they do, on very rare occasion, go full term. That said, every single one has died within hours.

...thank you.

For me that statement was true. All my other females are unable to breed at this point, so for me it is true. Next season it will be differnt, but for now it is true.

...the ability to delay gratification is also a very important life lesson. What harm would there be to waiting until next year, when you could do a different pairing?
