[QUOTE="Tricocyst, post: 108331, member: 16949"] that article makes thing sound reasonable but it claims only brachypelma under the cites list but I thought they placed any species from chile on the list a couple years ago to include some scorpion species but most importantly the chilean rose hair? I do support the idea of captive breed only.. it does put a lot less strain on the species in the wild but it obviously raises the price. I prefer CB species myself.. it reduces your risk of diseases and mites.. I know its still possible but it's much lower then wild caught specimens. (edited to add that obviously CB only risks inbreeding but we should be cautious in the breeding of CB tarantulas and if the gene pool becomes jeopardized then temporarily pluck a few males and females for breeding only and set parents back out in the wild) [/QUOTE]
