That's why people who buy spiders aren't looking for males, unless they intend to breed. Females will make a home, settle in, and enjoy getting food dropped on their head regularly. Females leave their homes as little as possible. You said you got him in your home state..what's wrong with your backyard? He won't eat much, if at all. He'll try to escape any way he can. I've watched a few die this way. Its rather sad. By the way I do release mm that I can't find a female for, in my yard. Some of them are from different countries. One is still living in my backyard, hopefully trying to breed with local females, even though he can't. But he might get some fullfillment from the effort. I get none at all from watching them wander endlessly in circles and then slow down, start falling from the sides, and die. When I said "that kind of thing" I meant the endless wandering and escape attempts, not suffering..but..it is what it is. You wont find a chalcodes breeder, in my opinion. Unless it's in your state, or one of the others with chalcodes, and its a local thats practicing breeding. Very few people want slings that take so long to grow. Especially when they can get a wild caught female for $50.00., or catch one themselves. Which brings us back to why mm chalcodes should be left alone to breed in the wild..</p></blockquote><p></p>
