Paradon":38730 said:Thank you very much for the replies. Yeah, I know Australia has clamped down on all wildlife being exported, but recently I've talked to several people who have exported Australian tarantulas. Apparently, they have been breeding tarantulas in Australia for quite sometime, and after several generations of captive breeding, they were able to get permit stating that they are not wild caught and were able to export them to Europe and North America. I was wondering why they couldn't do the same with the barbata. Don't the barbatas get a little bigger than the vitticeps? That's why I love to own one.

There are no Barbatas in the US. They do not cross breed with Vitticeps very well anyway, & the clutchrates are smaller.
Actually, the pics of barbatas that my friends have all sent me from Bundaberg & Sydney have shown large male Barbatas well over 26 inches long, which is not a small dragon.
They are a thinner type of body not rounded like the Vitticeps, but, very long in comparison to other dragons.
