yo..... all tarantula lover here do anyone here ever tried a crossbreeding ???

if really cannot find a same kind species la .........

Do u go and hump a chimpanzee if u cannot find a gf/wife to mate?

Before.
After.
Saja main2..

i found problem in noesday is that same bloodline breeding will lead to weak tarantula for next gens...... of them ...... and so on alot lot tarantula keeper here most likely love to keep alot of type of tarantula even thoese hard to find in malaysia one example blue fang recent topic ..... if follow on that might be some rare bird eater .......

and keeper keeping them only one and dont breed them they will become more and more rare and will reach extinction
if y

example i have read on few article that Mexican red knee now are hardly find in the wild and it all depend on the captive breed ....

Added on October 8, 2009, 1:33 amnot say untill like this........ just like human we all are human so there are blood mix children birth from mother chinese and father malay .....

A child resulting from a chinese and malay parent is like different morph of tarantula being bred
EG: RCF Rosea and normal rosea

Yes its true that not many of us are breeding our T here, but why would u suggest cross breeding instead of finding a mating partner of the exact sp?
Seller usually dun take in just one head per sp
Im sure they take in more than that, and if the buyer are really keen to breed it, of cause he will try2 contact other buyer to see if they have a pair or not too

Aside from this, do look at the downside of cross breeding
Not only it is a big risk where the male will be eaten instead of humping, the offspring of inbreeding specimen are often not healthy and could not produce offspring when they matured
Take a look at Liger aka lion xbreed tiger

Most of the time inbreeding for the first few generation doesnt give much impact like mammal from what i'd read
It's not that there is only one seller taking in those tarantula, we have so many seller, stock from different supplier, different bloodline
Imo u dun really need2 worry bout inbreeding in tarantulas

Just my 2cent

I think about crossbreed,we shud just let the nature take its course.Meaning is we,human,shouldnt interfere at all

yeap true true also .......... and yet i would suggest people never try to bring in thoese hard find type to malaysia this might accidentally support extinction to that species ....


and yet anyone here do a same bloodline breeding before ?????? i would like to heard from them curious ....hehehehe

and yet 900 species of tarantula has been reported so this mean they actually did crossbreeding in the wild ........ no judgement just mentioning only no harm no harm ....... hehehe

Rare species u mean
Tarantulas like the B.Smithi are listed in endangered list, those we took in are captive breed as i know
Others, we do have some WC specimen
Hopefully they ll be breed here soon

hehe yeap yeap ..... but is there still have WC speciemen here wow ...............WC b.smithi shouldnt be done ...... if not it will soon become another white tiger ......gahahaha only captive breed are left..... sad sad .....

fake_cookies:

Thanks bro . Really love this hobby now. Those days i misunderstood about tarantula venom n i tot its fatal to human. But after i watch discovery channel, i now know its rarely fatal to human (maybe not fatal at all) so i decide to buy b.smithi as my first tarantula from leetplayer (recommended seller ). Sigh...i should start this hobby long time ago..
