A friend of mine is giving me a tarantula for free tomorrow. I asked what kind it was so I could go home and look it up after work. She said it's an Aphonopelma.
This will be my first tarantula.
From what I can tell, Aphonopelma gives me the name of the Genus and not the actual species (Which I've come to find is 90!)... So I can't tell exactly which spider it is... I've included 2 pictures that were sent to me via text of the tarantula.
Are these pictures decent enough to identify what it is? If anyone can identify it, can you give me a couple simple things to know? Holdable? Private/Hiding? Aggressive/Docile? Easy care?
Cheers.
