Califorctenus cacachilensis ?

[omni]

Are these a tarantula? look more like roaming hunters, but very cute! maybe they can be a thing haha. I'd love to have 1 or 2 but I'm sure nobody has kept or even bred, but I have seen an eggsac in the article I came across. They are supposed to be newly discovered and described from Spring 2017.

Not a tarantula. I'm sure one of our better educated (in taxonomy) members will be along soon to elaborate, but these appear to be true spiders, not primitives (crossing fangs vs vertical, parallel moving fangs).

It’s a wandering spider as the genus name implies.

It is just a matter of time before they are poached, and available to the masses.It is a very good bet they are already in the hobby in Europe.

Unlikely to my opinion.

True spiders are a small part of the hobby around here und the prices are much (!!) lower than for tarantulas which make them less interesting for smugglers who are in for the money.

If they should ever show up here it'd be much more likely that someone snagged a limited amount for his / her own pleasure and might have offspring that enters the market.

As there are species of similar if not even bigger sizes already readily available here and also legal imports from various countries come in quite frequently i don't think that exactly this species would garner more interest than for example A. rufus.
