Tarantulas country...

[bokgrasul]

Hello everybody!
I am from Romania,eastern Europe, and I am planning a hollidday with my wife somewhere exotic.
And a big importance in picking a place will be the number of endemic species of tarantula of that place.
So, my question is : which country has the biggest number of tarantulas species? Or which country would you recommend to go , where to be beautiful , exotic and a lot of tarantulas?

Oh there are so many places in the world...which continent would you want to go?

 

[Steven Valys]

any specie(s) in particular that you would like to see?

you can browse through there and find your favorite species and their country (or countries) of origin. tally up what country has the most hits et voila, the country you should visit

If you care about number of species, then the country is Brazil for sure. But it's a large country
As Steven said, maybe you should consider what tarantulas do you like most.

Pato.

You should check export laws if you plan to bring back specimens. Some countries make it impossible to take out even a butterfly!!!

I don't have a particular favourite species.....I like all , and I have all kind af T. Terestrial most of them.....but I also have some arboreal..
I don't plan the trip for capturing T's....only on camera, and I don't have a favourite continent .
I just want to know where is a country that can easily find a T in the wild.....and as many species as possible.
I will make my holliday there, combining my wife's love for travel and my own love for T. I am thinking that she will drink cocktails in the sun on the beach , and I will hunt for T in the nearby grass.....or sand....or rocks

trinidad, morocco, malaysia, vietnam, thailand, phillipines... All sunny and beautiful and arachno-rich. Some of those places i might be hesitant as an american to travel but being from romania you should be fine.
