Why are most of these spiders so rare in the USA?
Aphonopelma armada (Texas Black Spot)
Aphonopelma behlei (Grand Canyon Black)
Aphonopelma chalcodes (Arizona Blond)
Aphonopelma hentzi (Texas Brown or Oklahoma Brown)
Aphonopelma paysoni (Payson Blonde)
I see lots Arizona Blond spiders for sell, but the others are absent on every USA site I could find. Is it the lack of profitability by sellers or do people mostly prefer spiders that are not native to their own country? Or perhaps half the country can find them in their backyards?
The Aphonopelma seemanni (Costa-Rican Zebra) seems to be common as well, but it probably isn't native to USA
My wish list includes the Payson Blond and Grand Canyon Black.
