    Are any of the spiders in breeding situations or is it a legal requirement to prevent breeding in NZ?

    I don't know about the first part of your question, but as far as I'm aware there is no stipulation about them being non-breeding. I think Australian collections have a ban in place on breeding their exotic mygalomorphs but I'm not positive on that.
