[QUOTE="NorseDad, post: 180595, member: 30858"] I'm going to side with Rs50matt here. His initial response was direct, but in no way rude. You went off on him, and it doesn't seem like you really read what he was saying. Instead, you became very defensive and abrasive. It doesn't take an experienced keeper to know that pushing a small animal into a container with a paper towel like that so it is immobile is cruel. About 5 minutes of reading, and you'd learn that ventral sexing is unreliable with adult tarantulas let alone a small sling like that. You are putting that tarantula through a very stressful thing all to learn something unimportant for a spider that small: gender. It's wrong, and Rs50matt was gentle in how he said that to you. You are new, and people will cut you slack for that, but do not start going on a defensive tirade when someone with more experience points out a mistake. It's a quick way to have people stop trying to help you. Regards [/QUOTE]
