Probably have a big crowd of toothless pant leg in boot dudes with their 'baccer chewin combat boot wearin' girlfriends lurkin about, lol. Anyway, let me know when a good time is, I would like to observe a few burrow sites, sounds like you know where a few are!Hahaha, nice. Maybe we should get some people together and go huntin down here sometime. Then go to wal-mart and try and sell some there. haha

I'm keeping 4 breeding pairs and after I get a sac from ea female, considering everything goes well, I will take the hundreds of hundreds of hundreds of spiderlings and release them at Osage State Park. Looking forward to it.I hope that you can relocate the T's you have saved. Perhaps you can find a place that is on federal land OR a state park and release most of the ones you have been able to save.
Wait until it molts and I bet it will look like the rest. Color is highly variable within an Aphonopelma sp. Such drastic differences in color and appearance in Aphonopelma hentzi is not unusual.

I would agree to this. I believe, though, many of the current Aphonopelma sp. would be found to be varients of the same species and the number of distinct Aphonopelma species in the USA would drop. That is, IF, someone properly revised the genus.my thoughts are that once we get this Aphonopelma genus worked out...especially "hentzi"...there will be a few "new" Aphonopelma around.
Dont you just love the number of "species" defined by mature males alone?I would agree to this.
