    I'm gonna second your thought Mark, about 89% sold on a mature male Aphonopelma chalcodes. The area fits and so do the looks, from the pictures I've seen of males.
    1.0 Normal - Maynard
    1.0 POG - Victor
    0.1 YB - Diana

    0.1 Pastel Boa - Astrid
    1.0 Salmon Boa -

    i believe its a Marshall Mathers.hahahaha.somebodies on AB.
    i didnt find it, a coworker that lives in fountain hills did.
    i would love to take it back if i could hop in my car and drive an hour and 50 miles and find a proper area.but i am mobiless at the moment and the dude i got him from that lives out there i believe will just turn around and sell him to someone that just drops $70 on whatever t he finds instead of the freedom thing.that same guy is gonna catch me a female and if he doesnt by friday ill find a shipper.maybe, if theyre available.(tab open google!!)if all goes through Barry White and wine will be ensue.and after that no buisiness with that fella out there anymore.

    dont take your cars for granted!!!!!!!
