Yes, we do have pet stores who sell tarantulas, but I am not sure you could take it back to your country via flight.

Yes. But I think you have a better luck find something like that in a bigger city:)

I don't think you'll be able to find that in Taiwan, and even if you could, it's highly unlikely that you'll get it out of the country...

I agree with them.

Another question is that even you find it somewhere in Taiwan, I guess it's imported.

Hi there,

Yes, you can certainly buy one - insects of various forms are very popular in Taiwan as pets - the island is home ot 25% of the world's species of insects, and you will certainly be able to find a tarantula, esp. if you ask around a bit. Simply ask for the nearest pet shop in TPE, and then take it from there!

Happy tanratula-hunting,

J.

You don't neccessarily need to go to an exotic pet store to find such an animal in Taiwan. Taiwan has a tropical climate favourable to a variety of species bearing exotic tags. However, this issue may be a legal one having environmental and conservation related implications ie. rare and endangered species.
In Kaohsiung City I know of a large locally owned and popular pet store on Boai 2nd or 3rd. Rd. in TzoYing District, not far from the big new Arena. It has been there a while and they sell a variety of pets (fish to dogs) including one mentioned in your question and other exotic type species.
By the way, I did once see a grayish coloured spider about as big as my hand, fully hairy like a tarantula and faster than a speeding bullet outside my door one night! Scary!!
