There will be other people who will have kept more species than me . .most definately ! ! !
I can only tell you what I have experienced myself and by no means am I an expert in any way, shape or form.
Moderately experienced, probably yes. An expert, definately not.

well I have found this Acanthoscurria juruenicola on the net lol.
It looks ok info wise not too much.
As for the rest of Acanthoscurria I'll give up as I only now know of three.

[Peter Roach]

There are a few that pop up every now and then, especially on the German breeders lists (Michael Scheller, Thomas Vinnman for example)

These are the species that are sometimes about . . . brocklehursti, chacoana, insubtilis, juruenicola, natalensis.

I got 3 or 4 brocklehursti juvs at the BTS last month (cant remember exactly how many)
