- Is any pet store selling trap door spiders as pets? I had some once when i
- lived in Africa (found them in my garden). I put them in an aquarium filled
- with dirt. They would tend to build the tunnels next to the glass so they
- were fairly visible. It was sort of fun to watch them crawl up the tunnel, open
- the door and pull in whatever insect happened to walk across the door.
- I miss those guys! Are they indigenous to Africa alone or can they be found in
- North America too? They make a nice, low maintenance pet and could probably
- work well in a terrarium too. Any info appreciated.
