But coming across them as part of an incident or another investigation is another matter. Last year someone was caught with quite a few spiders/Ts in a motel room after the motel owner went to check on the room/occupant. The animals were seized.So I got to believe there are others in Maine with illegal tarantulas.And even though I tend to have a collector disposition, I myself have resisted the temptation to cross the line. So far. I am hoping Maine will add to its tarantula list and I am busy planning creative enclosures for my six Ts. That is keeping me away from  the tarantula cookie jar. So far.</blockquote>
