I’ve been keeping spiders my entire life and a few years ago started breeding them as a hobby. I’ve bred 3 times so far; my Albo twice to two different males and my H Mac once. I have 20+ different species of mature females but I specifically picked these two to breed because I’ve owned them since slings, they come from a reputable source, they are visually perfect specimens, and their personalities are great. I had success selling all of my slings locally and it was great pocket money for very little work.I am really inspired by the vendors I’ve purchased from over the years and I’d like to join their ranks but I have a few questions.Do most vendors breed ALL of their tarantulas, or is it common to buy slings from a secondary source and sell them? If so, I’m wondering where to get wholesale slings. For example—I currently can’t find Albo slings for under $10, but I don’t want to buy 100 ($1000) and then sell them for $20 each because people will just buy $10 ones. So where would I get wholesale Albos?Where do you advertise? I already know some places I can advertise, but I’d love to hear some suggestions.What kind of licensing does this require? I already looked into this but I’m getting mixed answers. I currently do not intend to ship spiders out of Canada so I am not worried about import or export laws. When it comes to sending them to different provinces, as far as I know Canada is very relaxed on that, but I will do more research ahead of time so I know if a certain species cannot enter a certain province.And finally, please drop any extra info you have. I want to know everything and be fully prepared before I start.</blockquote>
