Question Regarding Future Availability of Listed Species

[A976486]

Would it be possible for the species Ephebopus foliatus, Thrixopelma longicolli, Chilobrachys nitelinus, Chilobrachys jonitriantisvansicklei, and Prosphapalopus marimbai to ever become available in the future?

I can find you an OBT. That will have to do. LOL

That's up to the importers and breeders in the US. Is it possible? As long as there's no CITES restrictions, maybe.

Did you mean Proshapalopus marimbai?

Yes thrixopelma longicolli is currently available (formally known as hommeomma sp, Blue Peru ll) its just had a sp review and name change.
So is chilobrachys nilelinus and chilobrachys jonitriantisvansicklei also available - the latter being expensive and hard to find.

Your living in the wrong country...you should reside in Germany.

Yeah, I meant Proshapalopus marimbai. Sorry for the confusion.

CITES doesn't often deter legal imports. Brachypelma spp. are a good example of this. So it's possible through the correct procedure to obtain CITES species, unlike the ESA listing... For example the 5 Sri Lankan Poecilotheria spp. which put an end to any legal hobby imports.

 

[plessey]

If there is a large enough demand for a species, regardless of what lists, protections or country it is from, then it will turn up in the hobby. Usually appearing in Germany and Poland first before "legal imports" trickle through to the UK and US.
