>>*duh* btw it was caught in the Santa Ynez mountain range =) I can't remember how far it spans, so right up above Santa Barbara/Goleta.

Aphonopelma rileyi is from that area. But for all we know it could also be any of the following, that have been confirmed in nearby counties: clarum, cratium, cryptheum, eutylenum, iodius, phanum, radinum, or reversum.

Even from a photo, it'd be impossible to tell you which one it is. Many of them look nearly identical. You'd also be very hard pressed to find any Aphonopelma that topped 6".
