We saw several Cyclosternum fasciatum species (or species that look like the Costa Rican tiger rump), and at least one B. vagans. The latter was found under a rock which had also a female with egg sac under it and about 5 toads...

See: http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2006/04/12/tarantulas-and-toads.html

(Note: some people complained some time ago that I give too much location specific information, this has already been discussed at great length, see:

What kind of B is that? I saw some time ago a "copper colored" T, but didn't take a picture.

Nice write-up!!!! Strange to see scorpion and tarantula exuviums next to one another, almost like they were living in harmony! Centruroides gracilis prey on B. vagans alot in the wild.

Are B. vagans listed on CITES? Just curious.... I know smithi are (or arent they?)...

i believe that all Brachypelma are on the CITES, i could be wrong though. . .

@ metallica, no problem.

Hmm, I bought mine from a private person and she is not a sling anymore. I think she is juvenile/subadult. I like them a lot.

I was not in KWH but in Hamm.
