i have noticed on other forums that some breeders publically say that they inbreed their spiders (mother- son/grandson etc and brother-sister) doing this can only be bad for the captive stock. new blood line must be added to ensure the captive stock does not become weak and all inbred, (cant be good?)
i know some people (that know spiders?) have said that inbreeding can be done with no apparant problem to the future slings, but is this true for inbreeding, line breeding and out breeding?????? and how many times can this be done with out affecing the future of the gene???????? does this happen in the wild????????
in my humble opinion doing this anymore than once in a blue moon can cause serious problems to the captive stock and will promote wild catching and the depletion of the wild populations
please i want all of your opinions on this matter fores/against and if anyone know of any reasearch on this matter please let me know.
kindest regards
