In juli i spend 3 days looking for tarantulas in Thailand. In som fields very far out where they normally dont see tourist or other nationalities than thai for that matter. I am very experienced with tarantulas, but this was my second time trying to find them and i finnally did it. When i knew where to look i found several more actually.

Their habitat:


The tarantula:


Haplopelma longipes:


And the sexing of it, female:


I can only encourage people to go and find them in their natural habitat, it is very exciting, even if the degrees are approaching 40C/104F

Amazing pictures, and what a vacation! That's awesome! I saw a video on YouTube where a couple guys went out and found wild A. hentzi in their natural habitat here in the states. It's always cool to see where the wild ones live. Thanks for sharing!
