A good-sized Aphonopelma hentzi hanging in her hole, waiting for the next meal to pass by (NE Texas).

I found a couple of nice ones in Northern Texas (Gainesville). Where did you find yours?

My wife and I were on vacation down in Gainesville visiting her Granny. About a month ago when it flooded, we headed into Muenster. It was not that bad out there and we were walking through the pasture. We found one sitting outside her burrow and my wife Shey, just reached down and picked her up. The MM we found was actually climbing the side of the house. The male died a few days ago, but Sally is doing great. We're going to be moving there in about a week or so.

Very cool. I often find some when I visit Marble Falls.
