Tarantula pop names

[ShellsandScales]

just tonight, i was showing a buddy my Ts. when he asked what one of them was called, i explained that it was an Aphonopelma hent... a texas brown tarantula! the scientific name had left him dumbfounded and bored. i had to revert to a common name in order for my buddy to even hold a slight interest.

Just to illustrate the point even further. I've never heard a. hentzi called anything but Oklahoma brown.
