[QUOTE="micheldied, post: 55474, member: 4088"] I'll play devil's advocate here. Many of the experienced guys on that board have very large collections, and see them as that, a collection(more so than pets). Now, purposely dunking a spider into water is arguably different from leaving a spider in a roach bin that had already safely molted in it several times. The risk was definitely there(and of course, the spider ended up being eaten), but a lot of the information we have in this hobby comes from experimentation. It was an unnecessary death, but it was a sling he bred himself, and that he had tons of(I know, it doesn't justify the death). He wasn't a noob either, a pretty experienced breeder and keeper. IMO it's only as bad as those who try communals, which can work, or can result in the death of one or many spiders, or breeders/dealers that have thousands of spiders and can't put in the same care you can for one or two spiders, which inevitably leads to a few losses here and there. Are these people irresponsible as well? [/QUOTE]
