[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 99567, member: 13537"] Hi guys. Well, here goes my first "official" post... I am a very curious and skittish person by nature. I easily get stressed out to the point that I need medical stuff to stay calm and relax. I felt it was necessary to say that before I say what this post is all about just to emphasize how important/stressful this topic is to me and how much I would appreciate any help AT ALL regarding this. Recently I have read that back in 2014 there was some story going around that they wanted to ban all tarantulas AND feeder crickets in South Africa. How was that sorted out? How did they even try that? And what is keeping the government from yet banning this fantastic and relaxing hobby in the future? On a lighter note, I am just curious about tarantulas that are already banned in SA. for my safety, what species are illegal to keep in SA? Thanks so much for any info, I really appreciate it :) [/QUOTE]
