I LOVE these spiders! I found 3 of them under a large pile of logs in Argentina, but googling hasn´t produced much information on them, other than that they can reach 10 cm and they are aggressive but not dangerous (but having stroked the back of one with my finger I don´t think they're very aggressive at all). Does anyone know much about these beautifull spiders here? Are they sold in the pet trade?

Thanks in advance ...

I got some P. pithagoricus, awesome spider
In my experience, they don't like it too humid, and reproduce like rabbits:eek:
