Nope, but it's bound to happen sooner or later. I'm a little rusty on what's old world, but I believe the ornamental tarantulas (Indian ornamental, gooty ornamental, etc) are old world (somebody correct me if I'm wrong), and there are others, but they aren't very popular in the pet trade. New world tarantulas are more what you would find in a pet shop (chilean rose, mexican red knee, things like that). The main defining characteristics are that old worlds are much more willing to bite as a first response and they don't posess the urticating bristles that the new world species have.
