Never heard any confirmed sightings that far north in Colorado.
If there is documented proof of A.chalcodes in Boulder,it was probably a released pet store/
collector release.I seriously doubt that it was a naturally occurring animal.
Having said that,there have been reports of them moving northward,and showing up in the
Colorado Springs area.For reference,thats 60 miles south of Denver.
Globel warming or climate change,you decide.
re read his post...he made no mention of a t in boulder....he mentioned a t just north of Sacramento, CA, and compared its northerliness (?), to Boulder. Chalcodes wasnt mentioned either...the t was an unspecified species.

Actually, with shipping and widespread development, just about anything is possible. And factor in the "animal abandonment, weather changes. What is is th b. Vagans that is now found in Florida, with a failed attempt at eradication. I think we're eventually going to have a need to redefine "native species".
In my profession they have found proven populations have move. This movement is from fleas to ticks, bed bugs, even wildlife.
The post you quoted is from 2003. Doubt the OP is even here anymore.

But, I do agree that due to human movement and what not it is possible to find almost any species living anywhere that it can manage to survive.
