No licence needed. Only pple who need a lic in QLD to keep spiders is petshops - they need a commercial licence to keep and sell spiders and scorpions.

also to collect out of the wild a wildlife harvesting licence is needed

That's why it's best to buy captive bred spiderlings - preserve what is already in the wild.

but how are they getting all these new sp in? there are a few collectors that get the adults then breed em, basicly all the adults you see for sale in pet shops are wild caught

yes that's right but you have to start somewhere - that's why only lic. people can collect them from the wild...

Yes there are but they are cracking down on this now - another reason u need a comm. licence do be a pet shop provider of spiders.

There are more than just 'one guy' who legally catch from the wild. I hope the ones who collect to sell are found out and dealth with accordingly...
