I believe mating season here (Southern California) is in the Fall, isn't it?And the tarantula they show does not look like a typical Aphonopelma variants?  The one in the clip has the little red patch, and for the life of me I know what it is but can't recall the name.   If they have 100% fabricated this, I am surprised they didn't go buy a few large B. hamorii.If anyone can stomach the clip it is below.  If I am wrong and this was 100% authentic, I guess you learn something new every day!<a href="http://toofab.com/2018/02/08/kourtney-kardashian-keeping-up-with-the-kardashians-tarantulas-spiders-laura-pippen/" target="_blank">http://toofab.com/2018/02/08/kourtney-kardashian-keeping-up-with-the-kardashians-tarantulas-spiders-laura-pippen/</a></blockquote>
