Tarantula ID?
My dog found this guy while we were on a hike this evening. Any ideas on what sort of T this is? It was probably around 4 inches long, found in northern NV.
Sorry about the phone pics! Of all the days to leave my camera at home...!!

In any case, it was a very exciting find! We don't see too many tarantulas here, mostly just smaller spiders.

Looks like some sort of Aphonopelma species? Possibly Aphonopelma hentzi? Can't really tell by the pic though. VERY cool find

This. That species is common in that area. Looks like a male one as well.

It's definitely Aphonopelma, and my gut says male too. It looks like it could be hentzi, but I also want to say Aphonopelma anax.
