It is not about bashing spiders..... just giving opinions that are backed by seasoned breeders observations and our own experiences. That is what Heather asked for, and the fact that spiders seem to be the most discussed in this thread shows that it is not just some wild conspiracy theory of one breeder out to get another breeder. There is a high percentage of neuro problems with spiders PERIOD!!! Sorry Freakie, but putting your head in the sand doesn't make it any less valid.

As for keeping all your spider babies, well if you want to cool, but I don't think you will have any trouble selling them. Despite their drawbacks they are extremely popular especially with newbs.

Do you plan on being up front about the issue with potential customers? What will you do if someone comes back a couple months later and starts asking why his/her spider is tweaking out? If you don't have good answers to those questions, then the ethical thing to do would be to hang onto them. From your posts you seem like a responsible type of person and I have a feeling you will feel as bad as I did when it eventually happens to you.

I am not trying to rant about this to make anyone fell bad about their projects. I just feel strongly about this issue and I am not a timid person when it comes to voicing my opinion on this subject. That being said opinions are opinions, nothing more - nothing less.
