It's proihibited to have ANY brazilian animal in captivity, from anteaters, spiders, snakes, bees to armadillos, monkeys and birds.From Brazil? Put it in your pocket and walk through customs without getting caught.
From what I've heard, the Brazilian government does not allow the export of their native Ts.
I want one, or ten, of these so bad.

Exporting an animal species without authorization is crime punished with 20 years of jail, if not more. For collecting animal species from Brazil you have to get an authorization from the Ministry of Science and Tecnology, only for academic purposes. To have exotic animals as pets, you have to get a special license, and is easy as flying by flapping your arms.
I'm a illegal tarantula keeper, but i'm not a wrong one. They don't see problem from people breeding these animals and selling them for people who love them. The problem is the idiots who think that tarantulas are cool (or whatever other animal), and get sick of them just to release them on the wild, on a place where they don't belong. This happened many many many times, and the keeping of these animals had to be illegalized.
Not to mention the britain and american fellas (sorry guys, i'm talking about the bad ones) who come to our forests to steal a bunch of animals, killing half of them in the trip, thinking only on the money, not of including them in the hobby and getting our in danger of extinction. They don't think of breeding them so trips back to Brazil aren't necessary anymore. I hate that so much. Because of those people, all the keepers have a bad image around here.
If i could get one, i would try to breed them (after getting a little experience with other species) and try to get them out of here. For the good of the hobby (and my pocket, i recognize :}). But i would NEVER get a bunch of them from the wild and send them away.
Anyway, they won't be in the hobby anytime soon, if they aren't available. Getting them out of Brazil is strictly illegal. I saw that T sometime ago on a site, i thought everybody already knew about it.![]()
I doubt criminalizing the hobby will help anyone or anything.

Indeed. Condemn the hobby, but destroy millions hectares of rainforest for farming...instead of sustainable exploitation... it's all a big joke, politicians don't care about our fuzzy friends or any wildlife whatsoever...I doubt criminalizing the hobby will help anyone or anything. But your country is not the only one that constantly passes idiotic laws...
I had no idea it was so strict there! 20 years! dang.
I WANT no NEED 1000 of those babies. So who's going to Brazil?? I'll volunteer. I'll wear cargo pants and a multi pocket jacket (that won't look conspicuous in 110 degree weather) Who's with me?? Operation Iridopelma seladonium extraction!!!
Well, I don't know any country that follows any logic with this. If you murder someone here, you'll basicly be out in 10 years. If you rape someone, probably parole... But if you sell marihuana to your friend, you'll go instantly to jail. So the message they are sending is: It's better to rape someone than smoke week!I'm willing to bet that the sentence for drug smuggling is far less.![]()
I meant far less than T smuggling. Brazil probably finds drug smuggling to be too profitable.Well, I don't know any country that follows any logic with this.

Yeah, I understood what you mean. My point is, they seem to make the laws without comparing them to others in the same penalty system. This applies almost everywhere.I meant far less than T smuggling. Brazil probably finds drug smuggling to be too profitable.![]()
