Those pictures are great. What a beautiful area!!

I LOVE that T! She is gorgeous! I don't think I have ever seen that species before. After a quick search on google I have concluded you have by far the best pics out there of this species as well.

Do you ever take them home or usually leave them where you find them? She is awesome - beautiful girl.

I think that's really cool you found a juvi also. Do you find juvi's often? I've seen sub-adult/adult T's in their natural habitat on several occasions - even before SCABIES. Don't think I've ever seen a juvi though. Do they just hand in smaller burrows? From the pic it looks like he's getting enough to eat!

Awesome species. Thanks for posting this! This is one Aphonopelma species I hope to have in my collection some day.
