I thought that too, but doesn't look like ones I find near Phoenix and up towards Flagstaff (coloration). Might be originally from Tucson area. Definitely aphonopelma though. They are obligate burrowers, 5-6" substrate, water dish, mist enclosure weekly (not too heavy), standard T diet.
@Garedog1 A. chalcodes are one of the best beginner T's out there. If you're just beginning, @AZ Tom is correct, so echoing what he said for enclosure set up. It's a terrestrial so make sure its got some floor space to move about. If it's another to add to the collection, then congratulations, you've missed the most painful part of raising one, the slow growth into a specimen of that size.
