I just visited my shop. You wouldn't believe what I'm going home with

C. versicolor or an A. moderatum possibly?

I doubt they would have an A. moderatum though.

Keep me posted when you can finally sex your moderatum.

I'm also curious where the pet shop received it from. If you wind up with a male I've got the female and I would be highly interested in yours. However if it's male it could mature before my female is mature given it's already 2 inches.

I just want to avoid your moderatum coming from the same place mine did. In other words want to avoid that they could be sac mates.

Anyways gorgeous T they really are stunning in person than in photos

I was trying to get a ventral pic. Almost positive this is WC. Yours is CB? Who breeds Aphonopelmas and turns a profit?

Many breeders make money on Aphonopelma especially the uncommon and hard to find ones like the moderatum.

Well that's the magical question that I could never get an answer on. The breeder/seller is well known and seems to be the only one with many moderatum available. Knowing what I know as to how difficult it is to get a fertile sac from these in captivity it leads me to suspect that mine is WC with no evidence to back it up. This breeder could have had success with a fertile sac or a WC female was gravid. Either way I do not know.
