CA Dwarf Tarantulas

Recently some friends and I went to a spot that I know of and came across something that I think you guys and gals will like. I cannot disclose the location as of yet though. Further research and field study is needed before the location is made publicly known. Sorry everyone!

Anyway,

These are CA Dwarf Tarantulas. They have 3" legspans at the largest. The species is still unknown to myself and the others but we will find out soon. Out of the three that we found two were this color and the third was blue/black all over. Take a look and check out this little girl in all of her awnry glory. The burrow photo is meant to show how far down and swithback the burrows are.

hey robert, i think you are right.... these just might be A. mojave. i read a paper on them that andrew posted a link to and they match the description pretty well. now they just need to be keyed out to be totally sure.
