A friend off mine found this T roaming around his backyard. Does anyone know what it is?

Why is it illegal? And how is it different from keeping any other T?

Nearly all indigenous inveterates in our country are illegal to keep without a permit. All tarantulas are banned in the Western Cape. I know that certain Parabuthus spp of scorpion don't require a permit.
Baboon spiders are tarantulas. Just different common naming.

Guys which is it? A tarantula or not? It certainly looks like one.

Baboon Spiders are Tarantulas...even if we call them Baboon Spiders and not "Baboon Tarantulas". They fall under the Family: Theraphosidae...which all Tarantulas including Baboon Spiders are classified... This Tarantula seems to be from the subfamiliy: Harpactirinae which are tarantulas from africa know as old world tarantulas and are mostly called Baboon Spiders. Its either a Harpactirella lightfootis or a freshly molted Common Baboon...they tend to have a golden and black strip colour after a molt....Remember that it is a Tarantula from within our country,and that makes it illegal to keep captive without permitation...its the same as if you where to go catch a snake in the veld and plan to keep it captive....its Illegal to keep captive
As far as ID goes- the colour is not great in the photo so it could just as easily be Harpactira-which is definitely illegal to keep. What is the size of the Baboon?

My friend wants to keep the spider as he refuses to let it go where he found it because of small children and a litter of pups, it could be potentially dangerous. Where can he get a permit and how much does it cost?
