hi

does anyone have any info on this species?? and what its distribution is??

ive heard that these can be found in cypress and turkey is this true?? though their usually found in israel.

im wanting info as i am very interested in having one of these and can't find any info on them other than this article on the taranula stor forums; http://www.the-t-store.co.uk/forum/i...showtopic=1465

it would be interesting if any of the more experienced keepers/documentors went on holiday/expedition to find some and document some current information about them.

thanks

They are found in cyprus and turkey in fact there was a great article in the BTS Journal a few issues back on this sp. There are few sites that go into detail though Rickwest site is good for specie info

could someone send me a copy of the article??, as i haent got round to becoming a member yet (should be joining in the next week or 2).

im hopeing to get a couple of these from a friend's husband who lives in turkey soon.

Can buy them as slings from the spidershop for a very cheap price

has many people got these?? as i was thinking the couple of sub-adult/adult ones that im hopeing to get could be used for breeding, which will help with the blood lines.
