Hey guys, what's the story about these little indigenous baboon spiders. I believe they are categorized outside the non collectible species. I know of a local guy who has grown one to maturity, to see what they're like and is going to release it in the area it was found in the near future. He's a cop and says they will be included on the forbidden list soon. Still I have found quite a few add's of guys selling them for anything up to about R350.

It's quite a small spider as far as T's go and also quite plain, so I was just wondering if there are forum members having them? I don't want one, but it's nice to know there are some local baboon spiders, living wild in the dry grasslands of the North West region.

Ceratogyrus would be your best option.
Also there was a thread about them a while back, if I remember correctly. Can't search for it now cause crapatalk sucks....
If you haven't already maybe try searching on the forum.

I don't quite understand what you mean with "Ceratgyrus would be your best option"? I have no desire to search for or collect something from the wild. If so, I would think C.darlingi would be the obvious choice, because I live close to Botswana and they could possibly be found nearby.

I was just wondering if any forum member has any overdijki's in their collection, because there seems to be a loophole in legislation regarding the keep of this indigenous species, even if it's only temporary.

Ceratogyrus is a forum member. As I remember he had some a while back.

From what I remember though they didn't sell well, due to them being mostly unknown

Harpactirella are legal to keep and as far as I know, it was only Ceratogyrus that was selling them, could be other people as well though.
