These three #tarantula species are from the genus #Aphonopelma and are found in various locations in the United States. They are very tolerant to human interaction, bites are extremely rare (consider how ubiquitous they are), and they are harmless.
Aphonopelma eutylenum from #California, Aphonopelma hentzi from #Oklahoma and #Texas and Aphonopelma chalcodes from #NewMexico and #Arizona.

#Poecilotheria are ranked 3rd behind #Stromatopelma and #Heteroscodra in toxicity.
Just be smart with them, take precautions at all times regardless of experience, and understand that they are always unpredictable.
I keep only two species - Poecilotheria regalis and metallica. Both females. I am lucky that both of them are fairly visible as well. I have never even once seen any defensive behaviour from either of them.

So, I'm kinda chuffed about being approached by Ze Frank's team to use some of my macro photography in this video.
It's already received almost 1 million views in only 24 hours.
GO SPIDERS!!
