Well, I know that I dont have to many Aphonopelmas, maybe 7 species at best mostly from around the south south west (Only Az and Nm in other words) Here are some pics of a couple native T's and my Carlsbad Green ;)

Lets see some pics of native Aphonopelmas near you :)

i have an as-yet unclassified Aphonopelma sling, but as it is TINY i doubt it would be of great interest. :)

here it is though.

the smallness of this thing ASTOUNDS me daily! beautiful little T!



they're calling this a New Mexican Blonde. it'll be gorgeous once it gets larger...in about 30 yrs...lol!

Awsome pics every one, I know I feel very blessed to live in a area that wild tarantulas occure. I get to see how the breed in the wild, what there behavior is like compared to captivity. Iv captured what seems to be atleast 6 arizona species. Hopefully there will be more on the way.

Here is a picture of A schmidti breeding

Once again great pics,

BigSam,
Sorry but no Brachypelmas live in the USA, the closest one is B emilia wich is still over 100 miles away. Hope this clears things up for you

Sincerely,

Brandon

Do they have Tarantula capturing expeditions in Arizona? If so I'm going to come and visit a friend in Phoenix one of these days.
