thanks that's good to know. Aphonopelma's can be quite rare it seems on this half of the planet, and many are quite nice species!Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars... Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

As I type this I am sitting in my motorhome between Houston and Galveston, Texas; and A. moderatum country is less than a day's drive to the west all along the Rio Grande River from Roma to Del Rio. We'll likely be in that area right after the holidays.

While I know where to get them it's the wrong time of the year. They'll be buried in their burrows and almost impossible to locate or flush out. And, even if I could get them I'd have no means of shipping them to you because of the permits that are required. Sorry.

But I thought you'd enjoy the photos.
One is a picture of our motorhome taken this morning. The other is of A. moderatum country taken a year ago. They're just across that fence! There's also a common Texas trapdoor spider there as well as a large species of hentzii-like Aphonopelma.
Eat your heart out!

Hi James *hugs*...it's been another hectic day for me!
I'll certainly let you know if I hear of any Moderatum sooner rather than later...I emailed Lee about 15 mins ago begging him to keep watch for me!
