[QUOTE="BriansWife, post: 174988, member: 32777"] I am fairly certain this is an Aphonopelma sp. The problem is, which one? Is there a tarantula ID key, or some way to ID this guy? Is he going to object if I pick him up? How in the heck do I a take a picture of him without letting him loose in the house? I've only ever owned a Chilean Rosehair - Grammostola rosea. This feller is wild. But I suspect there really isn't a lot of difference between wild behavior and 'tame' behavior among spiders. My point is, I would like to correctly ID him. I am going to try to collect a female from the same area this guy was found in, and I'd like to know if she is going to be difficult to care for, or as easy as this guy. And I'd also like to know, definitively, what species these are. [/QUOTE]
