its amazing you ask for advice and there is one a hole that always has to give a smart remark...go read the cute little tab...wtf? cerat having a permit to keep them does not give you a permit to be an asshole...im 41 not 15...cute little tab...please atleast give a reply without the snotty add ons

Pick a finger dude.

Maybe if everyone read the rules before posting there would be 100 less stupid questions per day.
Also by using the amazing Search tab (Which is the cute little tab between "Help" and "Profile") you could get the answer.
I have even made it easier by adding it in to my signature, so you can follow the link.
This amazing never ending topic has been covered at least 965 times that I can remember, but I suppose this is the monthly permit question.

That will be all for Cerat's helpful hint for the day.

Step one. Apply for silkworm colony.
Step two. Get denied.
Step three. Understand that your wasting Natcon's time.
Step four. Take Baboon off pedestal.
Step five. Put baboon in cage.

Sorry ek grap net, maar die advies is waar.

Cerat and all others that jump on the 'ILLEGAL', 'BAN HIM', 'FLAME HIM' bandwagon, I'm going to say this ONCE and definitivelty for the last time!!!!!
If I see one more argument/flame on this site regarding OBT's (Pterinochilus murinus) or any local species being traded/displayed etc., I will ban the (argument starter)/(flamer) from the site with immediate effect.
We all answer or 'should' answer noobs question that have been asked a miilion times before with patience because it's our duty to help others on a forum when they're trying to learn. Similarly the same thing will now happen with OBT questions and all local baboon questions from this day forth.
If someone posts a question about the legality of them or posts any for sale, we in the know will tell them POLITELY to either do a search for previous threads regarding the issue or tell them to look at the forum rules regarding tarantulas.co.za policy on this matter - and point them to section IV, POLITELY, either on the thread or in a private message. IF and only IF they ignore the POLITE warning/heads up, then message any of the admins, myself or Dimitri and they will be banned with immediate effect.
The same goes for people using common names instead of scientific names, let the person know POLITELY in a private msg or on the thread.

There is no such thing as a stupid question, only stupid answers!! It's absurd how many people get sarcastic/aggressive/childish about these things!!!! NOBODY likes a smartass........

We are a forum here and NOT the police or nature conservation..... provide the information and be peaceful on the site

No offense, but I can see that you only spend 5 minutes here every 3 months. These topics are brought up weekly.
Appoint some mods/admin with some balls.

Thankyou Taki...as for your reply Ruan just backs my statement...
