My attention has been sparked by the smaller species of Ts . . Both by BayLees description of a dwarf species with a beautiful marking she owns and the one daveemory had at the Exploritorium that had a long abdomen and was yellow and had a trippy stuccatto type locomotion tho it was in Still Mode as i beheld it . These are only mentioned in passing in the somewhat dated T books i have , but im under the impression they are many , but not popular because they are small , i guess?
Im very curious about them and would love to learn more and see some pics

That weird trippy one was my orange Selenobrachys philippinus, which (as you might guess) is from the Philippines. I must have been losing my mind, as I told anyone who asked that it was from Thailand and Burma. Um, no.
There are so many species of tarantula which are unidentified, as Lony can tell you... and I just saw on another forum a posted photo of an Aphonopelma dwarf species in the Mojave. I keep getting surprised. That's partly why I've found this to be such a nifty hobby - I can keep learning about a new one, probably indefinitely!
Another reason to love the Mohave . Oh man a little Aphonopelma my breath actually caught as i read that . my dream is to have a little roadside living museum in the Mohave and to live there till i die happy . People in town would say " Y'know, we havent seen hide nor hair of ol Kel in months maybe we should go out there and check a looksee . ." and there i would be in a lawn chair - a sun bleached skeleton in the sun - free for the basking of any snake or lizard who wandering by . Welcome .
Any more info on more little Ts appreciated ! Thanks daveemory!!
