Talk About Good Eyes!!!!

[Adam Block]

I was laying on the floor reading the paper one night back in Sept of 1999, I had just finished reading so I folded up the paper. When I looked down at where the paper had been sitting I saw a little spider. Having small children and with Arizona Brown spider being common I went to crush it with the pen I was holding. I was just about to do it when I took a little closer look, to my amazement it looked to be a Aphonopelma chalcodes.

This is the smallest wild caught Tarantula I've ever seen.

Here he was about a year later. I need to get a current photo and as soon as I do I'll put it up. Let's all just hope this is a female. Male Tucson Blondes live about 5-8 years anf females up to 30!
