Hi and welcome. You must be so excited to finally be able to keep Ts legally and you've found the right place to get any questions answered.

 

[May Farm Pet]

Yes .. its only 3 species but better then none .. what we can now keep are Grammostola pulchra Brazilian Black Tarantula, Grammostola pulchripes Chaco Golden Knee Tarantula and Grammostola rosea Chilean Rose Tarantula. I have found The Golden knee and have a bunch of spiderlings coming next week .. the other 2 species I have not seen listed any where ..

Wow I didn't know there were some states sith such restrictions! Welcome to the hobby!

 

[May Farm Pet]

Metalman .. Maine is one of the worse state we have an unrestricted list of what we can have with out permits .. 10 pages of it is fish the other 7 pages are everything else .. you can get permits if your lucky for some species but the requirements make it not worth the doing ..

Crazy8s inverts are selling 1.5inch G. Pulchra slings for $65. K8inverts.com.
G. Pulchripes is a great choice. A beautiful gentle giant that, if female, can live for 20 years.
Welcome to TF.

really .. I just bought 25 Pulchra slings for 5.00 each free shipping .. I planned to sell the ones I don't want for 20.00 at the reptile expo next month ..

Great! Excellent price. We will help where we can, but if your husbandry skills are half as good as your buying skills, you'll be giving us help.

 

[May Farm Pet]

its all about having connections as to Husbandry skills that is common sense and lots of research .. I am trying to plan a head for winter .. it gets mighty cold here and we often lose power ..
