The UK doesn't have any native Tarantulas so everything must have been imported at some point. Where as the US have a good few native Tarantula species And even the native ones cost nearly 3 times as much as they do over here in the UK. In the UK it is extremely rare to pay over £150 ($189) for one Tarantula even adult females. Obviously some of the rare species like the P. Solaris cost a bit £700 ($881) bit I did see this species on a US site for £7,938 ($10,000) does anyone have any idea why this is?</blockquote>
