Hi guys. New to the board. Great to be here. Always looked on the site but never joined (dont know why :shock:)
I was wondering if you still need a DWA to keep black widows and red backs in the UK?
Iv looked before and it fell under the DWA act, but now im having trouble finding info on it.
Any help would be great guys.
Thanks
Ben

I know there is people here that keep DWA without the proper paperwork etc.
But i think if you are going to keep them its better to let people know who have the anti-venom :2thumb:
I wouldnt want something like a blackwidow to get loose and start making nests! That the last thing you want. A million baby widows running around your house :gasp:
Cheers for the link. Thats not the site i used to look at tho. They site i saw was a shop with all sorts on. I wish i know what the english translation was for the site tho so i could get back there :bash:

The guy i spoke to said it fell to the person buying them, to know their countries laws. He just sends them out. I never planned on buying any myself, without having a DWA.
I always thought it would be hard to find black widows for sale, but its not.
Mind you from what iv been reading on the net, we might have the them setting up home here in the UK. Because its warmed up, people are starting to find them living here now. Thats how we ended up with the false widows living here.
