What is this black beauty?

[Mechanical-Mind]

in the wild caught trade the majority of specimens are female...females are usually located in an area near a burrow and are easy to acquire as males tend to be wanderers....and are harder to locate..so mate did you and chris get these guys or did chris have them forsale???

This is tangential, but wouldn't there be more males in WC trade because of their wandering tendency? Now, I don't know much about WC trade, but speaking from modest theraphosid and lycosid collecting experience, I would also think spotting something out of it's burrow can be tons easier than spotting the burrow itself. Additionally, sub-adult males would stay in scrapes and burrows as much as sub-adult females, from what I understand. Anyway, just a thought.

Best regards,
-Matt

My buddy had them imported WC(legally) from Tanzania.
