Steotoda paykuli

[Goanna]

Does anyone here keep this species? I have had one once before which I purchased from Frank Somma. I had it for almost 3 years (What is the general lifespan for them by the way?).

I have since been trying to find another but nobody ever seems to have them. Is there anyone currently working with or importing this species?

Also, are there any other nice, colorfull true spiders that are also relativly harmless like S. paykuli? Perhaps ones that are easier to obtain?

Edit, here is the only picture I have of mine. Unfortunatly, I couldnt capture her better side, and at the time I took the picture I did not have much experiance behind a camera, lol.

I have what i think is Steatoda paykulliana. Only ID from pix so im not 100% but look like it anyway. Got a number of sacs hatched out (a few slings have established in my spider shelf)
