Aphonopelma seemanni

*sub adult*
4”+ legspan

Bold white “zebra” knee stripes, hardy temperament, and a love for digging make this a great display tarantula. A terrestrial burrower that does best with deep, slightly moist substrate and good ventilation. Generally skittish (not a handling species) but easy to keep once set up right.
