i want sum!
Not sure if you know about Steve over here in Australia but he has an export permit and I have bred lots of T's so might have to speak with him and see what can be done about getting more of these into the overseas market.

Is it true that Australian Ts have enough venom to kill a man?

Hi,
Only when they form street gangs, which I've seen, it's not pretty. If you ever run into a bunch of young spiders with brown bandanas, run.{D

Hi Steve
What the chances of sending these new species overseas or do they have to be identified first?
I have never looked into an export permit so I don't know the restrictions and we will have to make sure they don't have a criminal background. :D

Hi,
There will be another US import of Aussie T's (including Stent's and some Selenotypus spp.) within a couple of weeks :) So, keep an eye out!!

Hi all,
Thanks for the comments. Here are some pics of a penultimate male of Selenotholus sp. "Gold" shedding to maturity. I love the colour of this species here's hoping he does his job properly and we can get a these breeding this year.

Hi Brendan love your Ts your Plumpies are great I've got one thats 2 years old . But i:ve only seen it a few times It loves it's burrow to happy I geuss to come out. This is my first time on site so high everyone . OH because it's in the burrow all the time dose it mean it's probaly a female.

Hi,
I wouldn't say it was definately a female as I have plenty of males that like to burrow. All I notice is that once the males mature they seem less inclined to burrow and they also lay down less silk, to busy thinking about other things I guess.

I rarely look in the gallery forum unless there is specimens of a species or genera I must check out.

(Loading the picture threads can make difficulties.)

But Brendan, I have loved gaping at the tarantulas in your collection. Hopefully more will be available overseas and become quite common.

Looks like we will finally have plumipes more readily available this year as the breeding seems to be going well.
