I have a few juvenile males & I have been wondering today if it makes sense to sell them. Not because I want to get rid of them, but because I am wondering if they will be better off with someone who breeds, than with us.

Depending on what males you have andy at so many legs is after males to buy or exchange for the same amount

I am a breeder so PM me with your males and we can either look for sling deals or I can buy. WHY?

Normally breeders aren’t too interested in juv or immature males. Some aren’t even wanted unfortunately so you’ll end up keeping a few MMs yourself even with no intention of breeding. We have a few we know will be off when they mature (Vagans is still eating like a champ Phil so he’ll explode soon) we did happen to have a Mm we sent off this morning to do his duties. Only thing I will say is don’t expect too much in return.

If you have no intention of breeding, sending out males to pair is the ultimate pay it forward of the hobby, IMO. Look for a local or regional invert keeper club or forum and post up what you've got.

Or PM @Phil he's the resident proprietor of the local tarantula boudoir :T:
