Hi,

Anyone seen this advert??

www.junkmail.co.za/v-johannesburg-pets-f...QXF18393QYEdQX201224

Aren't these T's illegal to sell (the obt that is)?

as well as the king baboon?

Im pretty new to this, so was just wondering.

Thanks

Yes Pterinochilus murinus is illegal to sell or keep without a permit.
Your link doesn't seem to want to work for me, but if you can get it working again, we all just need to report it to junkmail and they will remove it.

As for King baboon, here is another reason that I hate common names.
Just because it says baboon doesn't mean its illegal.
Spiders from the following genera are illegal to keep:

Augacephalus spp.
Brachionopus spp.
Ceratogyrus spp
Harpactira spp.
Harpactirella spp.
Idiothele spp.
Pterinochilus spp.
Trichognathella spp.

Because Pelinobius muticus (King baboon) is not from any of the above mentioned genera, they are fine to keep in South Africa without a permit.

The picture of the Sri Lankan Ornamental looks SO familiar.............. :eyepoke:

Got through to the ad now.
Its an ad by JPBlikkies from the site.
The murinus is now at my place, and sure the fasciata was also sold.
Everybody can report the ad anyway to get it removed.

So glad to see my memory is still in tact , even if it's a bit fuzzy :pinch:
