no licence needed for any of them. Scorpions depending on price $20-$200 for a pair. Mouse spiders and funnelwebs are hard to get hold of, males of them are pretty much impossible to find. I'm collecting female funnelwebs at the moment in hope of getting a gravid female but if you do find females expect to pay $20-$40

Where are you? apparently it is illegal to keep any invert or spider in Western Australia (despite the fact they sell stick insects in some pet shops!)

also if your under 18 you may have probs finding someone willing to sell to you, resposible dealers will not sell to minors. If your in bris you can ctahc funnelwebs yourself in the rainforests

ok well i suggest getting experience with non lethal species first such as taranulas or trapdoors. Trapdoors will be the best to prepare for funnelweb keeping since like funnelwebs, you almost never see trapdoors. Funnelwebs and mouse spider many look cool but are very boring.

Only at night though.
I hear Trappies are worse due to their living in a hole with a flap.
So I would recommend f-webs

So I would recommend f-webs | i see my trappies out every night, t's are out most nights but the funnelweb only comes up once every few months
