The A. moorei are QUITE BEAUTIFUL as well! But I must agree with you guys on the behlei. That is one amazing looking Tarantula! Does anyone on here have JUST an Aphonopelma collection? With SO MANY species, it seems like a comprehensive Aphonopelma collection would truly be something to behold!

I have actually thought about trying to do that. I think it would be awesome to have at least one of all the aphonopelma species. Only problem is the moorei are very hard if not impossible to come by from what I understand.
Personal opionion only: I honestly don't think moorei exist. Or to be more accurate, I believe they are GBB's displaced at some time to Mexico. If is looks like a duck, etc etc.

I can definitely see why you would say that. I have even wondered the same thing myself. They look pretty much identical.

Aphonopelma reversum is my fav. They're jet black and they're local. Can't get much better than that!

VERY NICE!!! I fancy myself travelling throughout the West and Southwest trying to collect as many species of Aphonopelma as I can. This one is definately one that I'd be proud to add to a comprehensive Aphonopelma collection for sure! That is also a VERY BEAUTIFUL little black North American Tarantula!!! Thanks for the post!

I'm beginning to think that I like the Aphonopelma species A LOT!!! I went out today, and found a colony of A. iodius burrows, and will hopefully go back tomorrow, but this time, won't forget the water! :wall:

Seriously???
This makes my head feel like it's going to explode...:barf:
It's pretty easy to go find information on whether or not this is a valid species. It's from Mexico, Andrew Smith described it, and the locality is far away from the US border...oh yeah, Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens is from Venezuela, a small area in Venezuela.

A. anax
My favorite is the A. anax.Because they are from here in Texas,although I do not see them anymore as I did as a kid.It was my first T when I knew nothing about them and before the internet and or AB
Only learned from experience at the age of 10.The big female I have now I think I got from California.Just crazy.
Although I had a failed breeding attempt with a male that was wild caught this summer from a guy about 100 miles from me.
But Jees this sp grow slow....
