Chris Allen, what are you doing with that Aphono, far from Ornithoctoninae

is this from your TX trip???

[syndicate]

HAHAHAHA
yeah man!

[Brent H.]

Chris -

Where did you get that A. joshua from? Did Josh give it to you? If so, I'm certain it is a spider I gave to him (I see R leg I regenerating - I accidentally nailed its leg as I tried to dig it up).

PM me about specifics because you will need my collection permit info to publish anything with that specimen.

I also noticed the difference. I received mine from josh_r so I'm assuming it came from N Arizona.

Is this the sp. that resembles e. cyanognathus?

[Philth]

Is this the sp. that resembles e. cyanognathus?

They both have blue chelicerae, so I guess. Other than that , they really look nothing alike. I have seen both for sale as "Blue Fangs". The blue on A. crinirufum does fade before a molt though. Here one of my females trying to pull a sharpie marker out of my hand.:)

[Protectyaaaneck]

Wicked. I'm guessing they are pretty slow growing?

And yes I meant that they resembled Blue fang's because of their blue chelicerae.
