well i know they do have alot of babies. i have already talked to people about taking a few. i am also a member in a tarantula forum, and deal mainly with inverts. but i would be able to trade them off pretty easily there. i wouldnt want the young to suffer which would be a downfall. but what happens that my garters are not related, or maybe distantly related? do you think it would be worth the chance to find out? also if i would get another male, which is a option, how would i know that they are not related or closely related? and if i can find a albino male, then i would still be able to produce albinos. thanks for all your input.
