Native Colorado Tarantulas

[MrMatt]

Here are some of the tarantulas I have that are native to Colorado

(These are the ones I rescued last year from the Pepisis wasps)

As you can tell these ones are doing pretty well, nice and plump.

This one is a little thinner but doing well

This is the same T as the last picture. I know someone was just questioning what Colorado Tarantulas looked like and where they can be found. These were found in southeast Colorado (Otero/Bent county)

Wow there very nice looking. Your lucky to be able to catch your own tarantulas.

Excellent pics Matt. Thanks for sharing. I have seen a few adult specimens of our local Aphono's but not many. I have 5 s'lings myself but they are far from even showing any adult coloration.
Me and a few other Colorado bug-folk would love to do a little collecting. Would you possibly pm or e-mail with any tips?

Take care.
