I have an T ID thread now..

[P. Novak]

My older brother was camping the last few days, and to my surprise he came home with a T for me. Can someone ID it. I know it's an Aphonopelma spp.
I have a further guess, but before I let it out I want to here some other peoples opinions. This T was caught in California(for a more specific place I'll have to wait till my bro gets back). Oh and it's about 3" DLS.

Pictures of course...

If anymore pictures are needed from any angle, just ask.

Hi Novak, I guess it's an Aphonopelma Chalcodes

I have one, the pictures are pretty bad, I took them two years ago with my cellphone.. :8o

I can see what your getting at, but I am going to have to rule out chalcodes because it looks nothing like my A.chalcodes.

Aphonopelma eutylenum light color phase. My guess.

my guess would be Aphonopelma iodius.

Well I could be wrong, I look for your T and now I'm almost 100% sure that it's an Aphonopelma Iodius.. I took from reference that your brother found it in California, right?.. check this link http://www.geocities.com/arachnids4u/16.html
