Africa!!!

[Nada]

I'm going to try something new here.
I'm gonna start a thread for each of the 5 continents with native Ts. ( Europe, and Antarctica are void of Ts as far as I know.)
so Post whatever you'd like here, as long as it's African...

P.Muticus formerly C.Crawshayi King Baboon.


C.Darlingi Curve horn Baboon

C.Marshalli Straight Horned/Unicorn Horned Baboon

I.Mira Blue foot Baboon

P.Murinus Orange Baboon.

This is an awesome idea. Funny thing though, I'm from South Africa but do not own a single T hailing from the African continent...I need to remedy this sooner rather than later.

Great thread idea. There's some amazing shots already in this thread! What beautiful Ts!

Ok so I'm in the process of acquiring a Ceratogyrus Darlingi sling now. The assistant at the pet shop were I buy my crickets knows someone selling them for dirt cheap...I just hope these are not wild caught...hopefully if everything checks out I will have it by tomorrow. Haha, its so funny...every time I buy a new T I'll tell myself that I have enough now but then another T comes along that I want so...

 

[Nada]

Darlingi are great(obviously lol), and if it's a sling I doubt that they're wild caught.
Hopefully you can post a pic of it here when you get it.

I just found out now that C.Darlingi as well as all other baboon spiders are illegal to trade, keep and transport in South Africa....Man that sucks!!!

 

[Nada]

yeah that does stink. Odd though, as it's usually non native/invasive species that are highly regulated.

 

[TheGreatWhiteKoos]

Yes according to South Africa's National Conservation Act on Biodiversity the following species are illegal to keep: Ceratogyrus Spp, Pterinochilus Spp and Harpactira Spp. This sucks even more now as it includes the P.Murinus (OBT). At least I can still get to keep H.Gigas and P.Muticus if I can get my hands on them. These are legal to keep if these are locally acquired and captive bred.
