seemingly like any other aphonopelma species.... pretty laid back. i'm sure some are jumpy, but it seemed pretty laid back to me for photo shoot.

I'll post a pic of a female in a couple days.

Would you say that the females are much prettier?

That is a great photo. All I've seen are the rather plain looking females/subadults. That's a very attractive mature coloration.
That's one of the nicest things about Aphonopelmas, no matter what you might have thought that T was, if it's a boy, when it matures you're going to know it.

Is that one of them I sent up to you or did you already have some on hand?

Awesome. Have you been able to determine if you've got a female in that group large enough to breed?
