Hello, Martin linked to one of my Pamphobeteus pictures showing the male/female. I can assure you this is not Pamphobeteus. It is Aphonopelma species. It looks to be a freshly molted mature male. The location and shape of carapace is a dead giveaway. When they are freshly molted they will be slightly more colorful and the right angle of the sun/flash can exaggerate the colors. I hope you left him on his quest to find females! Cheers -Chad
