getting into the Calisoga longitarsus game again!

[cacoseraph]

they way i see it, we are basically weakening the species in captivity so badly it really doesn't matter

in nature, maybe 1-10% of a given clutch will live to reproductive age. the quickest, toughest animals live and get to spread their genes. in captivity ppl will coddle the weakest, most pathetic animals from a sac and try to breed them, regardless of fitness. so in essense we are unevolving our spiders something fierce


i typically cull out the bottom 10-50% of any captive produced animals i make through privation. i only want the strongest, most fit animals to survive and spread their genes
