Interesting thread Richo, the collections going great mate. There was a recent legal wrangle regarding one of the invert elite after he was dobbed in by someone...hmmm, although the info given to the authorities has been proven to be false and has taken B.S 6 months to sort out. He has always had a commercial harvestors licence which most people including me beleived it enabled him to sell to the public via a business, The Qld authority tried to query this and as he actually helped them write some of the regulations he came out very clean. The regulations have been posted on Aussieinvertsnreptiles and are mind blowingly complecated and i have read them several times and just blows my mind. Mind you these are for Qld only ,you cannot collect from NT or WA but all other states you can.
Im hoping this has been informative and im not taking sides in the whole hobby as i see that as divisive.
Peace.....lol Cracks

Grooooss! Those little baby scorpions are slightly cute but the spiders etc.. eewwww!

Great to see you enjoy them though!

 

[ezekiel86]

WOW !!! some crazy photos on this therd top job everyone!
QUESTION some of the photos with the BIG tarantulas on hands etc what is the chance of actually getting a bite from one of them big guys...have you guys ever had a bite from one?

 

[cracksinthepitch]

There is always a chance of being bitten but over time you can read any animal (not 100%). if they're rearing up dont go near it, but if they are walking along and your hand is flat infront of them they just think its a rock or the like lol. Just dont drop them as it can be fatal. A guy most of the invert people know(Dools) was bitten by his Kotzman Tarantula and suffered pain for 3 days but made a full recovery.

Anyone scared of spiders should have a read of the book SPIDERS: Learning to love them. By Lynne Kelly.
Great book about understanding spiders to help get over any fears.
