Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ceratogyrus" data-source="post: 20057" data-attributes="member: 371">Not quite sure what you are on about.I think it is positive if I can prove that a species that was assumed to be a hybrid, is not a hybrid.Why have hybrids been made? As per my above post, mainly because of misinformation, inexperienced people breeding them and common names. To a lesser degree people wanting to make a pretty spider, as the offspring often look very similar to the original parents. People can't sell hybrids as new species, as they would have to be described first, so I don't quite see the point of selling them like that. The majority are sold as pure specimens of one of the adults without telling the buyer that they have 2 different parent species. Again, because of one of the points I have listed above.I agree fully that hybrids are bad and I have said so from the start of the thread. I just don't agree that hybrid babies have all of these problems that you are reporting they have. First hand experience proves that to me.Can't see where you changed your answer, but hopefully it's because you looked at my points and thought it through already.</blockquote>
