[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 153483, member: 4086"] Personally, if I can't find a female for my MMs, I like to release them on my property, before they get too bad. I live in S Texas, so they have 9 months out of my year to live freely. They can seek out local female sp to breed with, but nothing will come of it. They can dig a hole, or appropriate one and stay in the ground, or do like my last mm avic and make a home in my stables. Nothing wrong with other methods of dealing with MM spiders, I just kind of like my method best. Anthropomorphizing, maybe. I feel like I'm freeing them. They probably feel like they've been thrown from safety into a lions den. Which is technically true, with all the predators around..its better than freezing, which I've done, and I've had a few females eat males, which is not enjoyable at all. It takes forever for them to finish that big meal, I usually cover the glass..anyway, watching them slowly deteriorate sucks. Just like with any other living thing. I hope I go out fast and furious, and full of life. [/QUOTE]
