Spider wobble

[Bogertophis]

Actually what I would really like to see is how many wild caught spiders have been found. From what I have read online, they have only imported one spider from Africa. NERD bred that spider and started the whole thing. If this is true and only one has been found, it’s a clear sign (to me anyway) that the animal can not survive and reproduce in the wild with this condition. Thoughts?

Sadly, those who would breed such animals have been rationalizing it by insisting that since they're only pets anyway, it doesn't matter whether they'd survive in 'real life'.
I couldn't disagree more..."nature" (ie. natural selection) gets it right & if anything happens to the wild populations** we won't be able to replenish them.
**What could go wrong??? Geez, habitat destruction, pollution, climate change (keep in mind that some diseases & vectors do far better in a warmer world).
