O.K., when I put my last entry on Jan 15th about my Aphonoplema Flagstaff Orange arriving D.O.A. I should have gone back to say that I did get a replacement. Sam in Arizona quickly sent another bigger female flagstaff orange along with a free female Aphonopelma paysoni blonde.
The flagstaff is almost 5" and the paysoni is about 3.75". Sam had these packed really well and they have been doing great since Jan. 30th. These both come directly from the Arizona area where Sam lives so I assume he has no problem finding a few of these, depending on the weather and time of year.
After placing these girls in their new enclosures, the flagstaff almost immediately found the water dish and stuck her face down in it for a long drink. I took three or four pics of that along with some pics of them posing for me. As is my luck however, when I went to upload them on my pc the memory card showed error and I lost all my pics on that card. Luckily most of them were already on my pc.
These two girls are calm and slow moving as is with most Aphonopelma's.The first day though the flagstaff was walking slightly sideways I guess is how i'd describe it. She was almost dragging one leg but I could not find any injuries and she's been o.k. since then.
Here's some pics of my newest Arizona T's:

The one on the solid black fake leather is the Aphonopelma sp. paysoni blonde.
