Can you keep a Huntsman Spider as a pet in the United States

You can keep any arachnid you want.

Even infamously dangerous ones like the Brazilian Wandering Spider?

>>2434786
Yes. They're not expensive.

However since you don't seem to know anything about this hobby and you managed to miss the invertebrate general to ask there I'd suggest you start with less venomous spiders that are much better suited for beginners and then work your way up.

>>2434787
Ah, my bad. I'm new to this board. I rarely manage to wander out of /o/. Any species in particular you would suggest for a beginner?

>>2434791
Depends. The ones you are asking about are all "true" spiders (as in not mygalomorphae) and they are much less common, comparatively. Probably because they don't live very long and are all quite fast, which is not something that novice keepers should deal with.

I suggest you start with a mygolomorph spider (a tarantula) just to get a feel for spider care, one of the slower terrestrial beginner species. Once you're confident in caring for one of those you can look into more advanced species of tarantula, or some easy true spiders like Heteropodas. Now those are also very fast and would probably stress out a novice, but they are not dangerous at all.

I'd only get a fast AND highly venomous spider when you have plenty of experience with other, less dangerous spider.

If you want any more help, care tips, or links to online resources I'd suggest you ask in /invert/

Like the other anon said, you need to ask here>>2432427

Thank you for the info. I'll look into researching tarantulas.

>>2434818
the OP of the invert general has actually good resources for that, please use those

if you just google tarantula care you'll find a whole lot of bullshit and very, very bad caresheets

>>2434825
I'll look into it.
