You're welcome. I have raised a few of these from hatchlings to mature adults as pets and they are one of my 3 or 4 favorite tarantula species.

The proper common name is Trinidad Chevron ... That one is a mature male, by the way ...

Thanks Atul, it's nice seeing them in the wild.

Thanks Maria and Jack. It was very large and they seemed to be fairly common around the lodge.

Nice! Cool to see those in the wild; they are often in the pet trade.
