while I was away from the hobby I spent a fair amount of time looking for Ts in cali and Nevada and even dipped into az a lil I seen lots of great places and animals the one thing that was on the top of my list was a Joshua and a Mojave i never found either
so anyone here have them? or even pics of them in the wild?

I've looked with no success as well. There was a guy a couple years ago that had some for sale but they sold quickly--so someone around here has some.

Based on the few pics I've seen, they suffer intensely from small dog syndrome...and it's just so cute.

I have a female mojave I collected a couple years ago, I found her in distress , there was a flood in the canyon she lived in and washed her out of hiding and she was stuck in mud . I see mm mojave walking around a lot in one of the canyons I hike in . I've picked up a few and released them . I'm sure a have a few pics I will see if I can find them . I have a lot of pics on memory cards so I will take a look . As for my girl she's always hunkered down deep in her burrow I never see her . the female I have is quite mellow and so are the males I find .

I kept a dwarf Aphonopelma a while back. May have been A. paloma. Really nice silver spider with exactly what you describe. She'd creep along slowly with the most intense threat display possible; fangs splayed out, front legs raised, slowly moving towards you. So small, so intimidating.
