[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 126568, member: 26980"] This should be logical, but to get a hybrid you still have to find one in the first place. In that case, why not just keep it? Hybrid tarantulas aren't treated like reptile morphs or new breeds of cats such as the Savannah. Economically they aren't worth anything and if hybrids are reintroduced into the wild its feared that they could cause extinction of the original species or damage to the Eco system. In my opinion, hybrids shouldn't be kept where there's a chance of them surviving if they should escape, unlikely though that might seem. Hybrids shouldn't be mistreated of course, just clearly labeled and never bred, even with other hybrids (although that wouldn't be as bad) The reason why the hybrids are fertile is that the original species are much more like races then true distinct species, which means is easier to mess them up.
