What kind of tarantula.

[khatchet]

I saw this guy walking around today. I thought he looked amazing and would like to know if there in the hobby so that I caould get one. I like in missouri if that helps any one to know what kind. Also he had a solid white strip down every leg that the pic didnt realy pic up.

Did you get a closer pic?

 

[khatchet]

no I wasnt the one who tolk it and they wouldnt get close or let me use there phone to get closer. It was just a sling tho about 1 in or 1 and a half. That makes it hard cuz it may not have its adult color. But I looked up a list of tarantula in my area this is the second kind I have seen and it doesnt pop up as them living here.

Are you sure it is a tarantula? Kind of looks like a trapdoor spider.

It was diffently a trantula. The pic is not as clear but if you saw it in person you could tell. And the 1st one I saw was a mm so it diffently was to.

But I have studyed most all spider in my state and have never seen one like it.

Look at species with ranges near to you. Many species have been expending their ranges.

I don't think it is a tarantula. If it is it's a Male Aphonopelma species.

At 1", its too small be a MM Aphonopelma.

Yeah, I really don't think it's a T. Trap door, or a Wolf (which I guess is technically a T)

Im not sure then are there trap door that look so close to tarantula where I live

 

[khatchet]

Thank you guys for the help tho.
