Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ceratogyrus" data-source="post: 20061" data-attributes="member: 371">There is no difference. If you have a hassle with hybrids and you say that they have these problems what do you have to say about all the unknowingly bred hybrids that are flourishing?And here is the important question. Are you going to breed any of the spiders of yours that I mentioned above one day? The majority of the knowledgeable people are in the German/European hobby. Are you willing to send at least a moult from every one of those spiders to the 'experts' overseas to positively identify your spiders? When it comes to males, you might have to send the male and then illegally import him again.If you are not willing to do this, then you (and everyone else who breeds spiders) are all adding to the problem.By the way, any other members on here who have gotten any of their species from a 'dodgy' genus positively identified according to their original description papers? I would bet maybe less than 5%.</blockquote>
