My beautiful little sub-adult Aphonopelma chalcodes female - Audrey. I was looking for her for so long and finally found her. She is perfect in every way and I love her.

So happy to finally have this gorgeous girl

Very nice. I remember keeping quite a few of these back in the day but they were mostly wild caught back then and kinda raggedy looking. You've got a very beautiful specimen there. Congratulations!

Aphonopelma catalina, supposedly one of the hardest to find species in the U.S. Brent Hendrixson mentioned at the last ATS conference that only about 5 people have seen them in the wild.

Interesting to see the variations on a theme in the US Aphonopelma.

I designed my tarantula terrarium to be like the environment I found her in. I used the sand from near by, wood and some pretty jaspers ( those are for my enjoyment ) She has a burrow under the wood that she excavated.

Do you have photos of the native environment?

Many of us want to do desert terrain, and photos from the wild would help a lot.
