Message: <blockquote data-quote="Suzjohn" data-source="post: 187089" data-attributes="member: 34942"><p>I found an amazingly frazzled Aphonopelma species, walking across my driveway and thought maybe a neighbor had lost a pet. Went to the neighborhood lost and found, but no one had lost a tarantula. I went back outside and sat and watched it for quite a long time, and concluded it was wild. After extensive internet research, I was hooked and had to have one. Did more research on husbandry, and finally went to the pet store to peruse the selection. Came home with a Rose hair! I am one of several tarantula advocates in the neighborhood so folks have someone to.call for removal services. Twice a year, the males are out looking for the ladies. Love seeing them everywhere. No, I wouldn't remove one from the wild and put in an enclosure.</p></blockquote><p></p>
