Wow, what a gorgeous spider! Where are they from? Where can I get some?

Are there any sellers that specialize in true spiders?

As far as I know, the only Ctenids with a dangerous bite are Phoneutria. However, I am far from an expert especially with a relatively unknown species. Perhaps Stefan will weigh in on this.

I assume these came from polyped. I would check with him regarding their native range. I assume their care is similar to other Ctenid species. Fairly humid, somewhat semi arboreal setup and a healthy respect for their speed.

Yep they were from him, and they are very quick when warm.

Ctenids from someone in Germany. Probably something great but, really? You don't know anything about them?.
Almost all of those as I understand are nonsignfigant but Phoneutria. Not counting south america, germany
is where you get those..
We're just over reacting Stefan right?

These were brought in the Uk, but from a German breeder, I have read about their venom is not meant to be any near that of Phoneutria, but I would like opinions from people who know of these,

This was an interesting discussion about Ctenus in the U.S.
