Lycosa tarantula

[RED-LEG]

Does anybody here keep Lycosa tarantula, and any ideas where I could purchase some in the UK?

Look for shops in italy for them. I have never heard of them.

i assume you don't know the origins of the name "tarantula" then either, then.

Know of any that do mail order?

I did not not think that this was such a rare species in captivity. Does nobody here keep them?

We're talking about a large species of wolf spider from Italy, right?

That be the one. I got me some Egyptian Lycosids but they are half the size of L. tarantula and not nearly as colourfull.
