California Ebony Tarantula

Cool hope to see one

No worries! I'm not at the zoo much at the moment, but I'd be happy to say hi if I'm there!

Thank you Cassandra! I can't believe you work at Folsom Zoo and we connect here :) Small world. I live about a mile from the zoo. Next time we are in I will ask to meet you. Thanks again for the ID.

It looks like there's a couple species of ebony tarantula in California, so my suggestion is as specific as I can get. I work at the zoo in Folsom and have seen one of these dug up during construction (she was safely relocated).

Very nice!
