So, I mostly have slings and juvies. I probably have less than 20 adults or sub-adults all in cages on a couple of bookcases.
I walked into my office where I co-hab with my collection this morning and saw a tarantula sitting on the floor. Scooped it into a large deli cup with ease and thought it must be one of my few a. chalcodes (I have 5) as it looked around the right size and color.
After checking my cages, I saw they were all accounted for. As well as EVERY cage on my shelf. I have no idea where this guy came from.
I have not had a "runaway sling" in maybe a year - and never anything in the Aphonopelma genus. I'm at a loss!
Can anyone tell by the picture what it might be? I have to figure out if it is a sling that somehow lived (I highly doubt that!).
Sadly, the tarantula is not doing well and I do not think it will make it.
Picture attached. Size is approx 3inch DLS
