This may be a little early,
but is anyone heading down/up/across to Melbourne for this?
I'm going to be there at least on the Saturday and possibly the rest of the weekend.

Will customs let me take some redbacks and funnel web spiders home with me?
In this moment, I am Ur-phoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my int score.

Yes,
if you purchase from an "approved source"

But redbacks have a habit of hitching a ride anyways :)

Uhh, that says "no."

You would be able to if you were an Australian who had previously owned them as pets, and had also gotten them from an approved supplier.

To bring them into the US, it looks like you'd have to clear it with both Fish and Wildlife and Customs, and come through one of a specific list of ports.

One casting every six seconds at CL9 gives you a bit more than 40 liters per second, which is comparable to the flow rates of some small, but serious, rocket engines. Six items running at full blast through a well-engineered engine will put you, and something like 50 tons of cargo, into space. Alternatively, if you thrust sideways, you will briefly be a fireball screaming across the sky at mach 14 before you melt from atmospheric friction.
