[QUOTE="Ceratogyrus, post: 23983, member: 371"] Releasing captive bred spiders can unfortunately not be allowed in SA. Other than the spiders running into the same problem that endangered them in the first place, population dynamics will have to be taken into account. Also the possibility of releasing hybrid species or variations of the same species into an area where they are not found would be a major problem. Having a bunch of hybrids interbreeding with pure species would be catastrophic. [/QUOTE]
