Sable(010) is still just sitting on her silk mat, taunting me. IS she going to molt, or make an egg sac? She is driving me nuts. I check on her a dozen times a day, hoping to catch her in the act of laying, and hopefully get it on video.

Out of those few genera Scientists and Hobbyists are still not 100% sure what species under some of those genera are. Why muddy the waters further? Creating a hybrid Tarantula in captivity is a great concern to most hobbyists and Tarantula breeders/dealers today.
