Not extinct Selenotypus sp.3

[bylo]

This is my Selenotypus sp.3 which hasn’t been found in the wild for over 6 years and had believed to be wiped out buy illegal collectors.:cry:

During our studies of wild Tarantulas we have been involved in the finding of a new population of these rare spiders.

Here are a couple of pictures for you to enjoy

yes we will try to create a captive breeding program for this species to secure its survival.

this is a large female

That info wouldn't be helpful on an online forum

Don't need anymore 'poachers' out there looking for them.

true,dont worry about that question

We have taken a few for a breeding program; surprisingly there is a large population of them in the location we found them.
The location will not be released to any one

Hi reptilegirl_jordan!
they were thought to have been extinct from the wild,not an extinct Tarantula.. I myself had a sling until a couple of months ago,then it died :cry: and I know of a couple people with them.....

Excuse my ignorance - and laziness in not looking it up myself - but what makes a tarantula a tarantula - it looks a heck of a lot like the huntsman (I suppose I call all big brown spiders huntsmen...) I had to remove from my inlaws car on the weekend... It was very hairy, which I am unused to.

they had been basicly wiped out in the only previously known locations but still probably a few remote areas that should have good populations, generally the case with t's, easy to access areas have very sp**** populationg from over collection and the more remote inaccessable areas still support viable number,s awsome looking t

That's excellent Bylo! I love hearing about something that has survived human tampering! Brilliant!!!
