I didn’t see anything about captive spiders in the sidebar.

I really need to update that sidebar at some point, the rules are good in general but way to intimidating. The account that wrote them doesn't even exist any more.

I have kept quite a lot of tarantulas myself, though it has been over a decade. As long as you're not trying to buy/sell or talking about illegal imports everything is fine. Feel free to post more pictures of your personal spiders. Lemmy is probably still too small to have a dedicated tarantula-keeping community so here is the best place!
