I wish. Last I heard there were only a few in the US that they were hoping to breed. I don't know about other countries.

Being Psalmopoeus species it should be fairly quick if they are here already. The last post I saw was 2 years ago so maybe soon.

i have seen a more recent post. Probably like 6 months ago. As mentioned above. Garred Martin has a pair. Hoping that he is able to produce some, but i’m sure moat of the first few sacs will be hold backs or go to personal friends. Probably gonna be a while before they are readily available.

I believe they're in the hobby in Europe, I've noticed that smaller specimens have the same Christmas tree pattern that is seen on Psalmopoeus ecclesiasticus that are found in neighbouring Ecuador (if I remember correctly, there is some debate as to whether this species should remain in Psalmopoeus).

But every species you own, whether poached or legally collected, got into the hobby the same way. Not saying we should support unsustainable collecting, but I'm not sure I see why it is always bad now when a new species enters the market.

I had a look around and couldn’t find any info on them either. Anyone know what country they come from at least?
