[QUOTE="Jess S, post: 165942, member: 29302"] Most female tarantulas stay within or nearby their burrows. They hang at the entrance waiting for prey. If they are out actively hunting it tends to be at night. The only thing that would cause them to stray further is extreme hunger/thirst, you get the picture. Males live much like females, up until the point they mature and are able to breed. Then they abandon their burrow and set off looking for a female. Male Aphonopelma's roughly can live a decade give it take a few years. Females much, much longer. So they grow slowly. A juvenile would still be a few years old. Disclaimer: not sure if that is an Aphonopelma. My best advice is why don't you contact your nearest university and find out from them how to contact someone specialising in arachnology? I'm sure they'd be interested in your local sightings and will be able to tell you a lot about your local species. [/QUOTE]
