Hi Karen,

pls remember that they are strictly protectet by the goverment and its forbidden to export tarantuals from RSA.
(BTW: As far as i know its even forbidden to keep tarantulas in RSA.)
I wasn't planning on bringing any home, but I spend time out in rural areas, so it would be great to find some and just see them do their thing (or more likely run from me!).

Hi,

here you see a typical eggsac of Harpactira cf guttata. They are always attached to both sides of the burrow hanging free.



Surprisingly one of the sacs was ready only 6 weeks after it was built.

Hi,

So when are you presenting them to the market?
right now I don`t know any reason why I should to present any to any market. But I might have some left out of the 4 sacs for some responsible breeders.

regards,
Philipp

Does anyone have any pictures of Harpactira hamiltoni? I saw some for sale but I couldn't find a picture of a female, only a mature male.

Aww, don't be judgemental now. Some of us has to make a buck to be able to sustain the hobby, and to update and evolve the plastic container park with more attractive glass pieces.

I merely save human lives all week long, and sadly that's not valued in our community.

Hi Eddy,

yes it should/could be the same ... dunno if the male is still alive, i dont keep him anymore.
(I wonder, cause i didnt got any response in the T-Store on the same topic from you. ;) ... )

The male is now for scientific work in England - contact Gallon for Info if he is still alive.
