[QUOTE="DustyD, post: 193987, member: 36911"] Hello all, I have had a on again off again interest in tarantulas and spiders for decades, just never owned one. I am hoping to change that later this spring or summer, and have already bought a few enclosures from Tarantula Cribs (I am thoroughly impressed with the company and enclosures). Maine has some strict regulations on possessing wildlife , with only three tarantulas on the unrestricted list. All are Grammostola: Pulchra, Pulchripes, Rosea. In comparison, there are about 140 reptiles and amphibians on the unrestricted list. I do know that the Maine Herpetological Society has been educating the state and residents about the care of these animals for decades. There is some hope as the law does allow for residents to petition to change the status of animals, so I believe there are opportunities to add to the unrestricted list. And in the past the laws regarding tarantulas have been both more stringent and more open depending on the year. So i think time will tell. [/QUOTE]
