Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sonorantree" data-source="post: 102769" data-attributes="member: 13813">I collected a mature female Aphonopelma paloma this fall. She has eaten some very small crickets thus far. She does a lot of wandering around the top of the enclosure walls but retreats under a piece of cork bark for part of the day. Does anyone have experience with this species?Here is one of their distinctive burrows in the wild<img src="http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y343/Paul_Kaufman/20161111_1714001_zpsjh7fvsjo.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Here is my little "Palomita" in her enclosure<img src="http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y343/Paul_Kaufman/20161111_1919351_zps4uriun6z.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Her body is only 13mm long!</blockquote>
