Lauricius hooki?
Neat one. I wonder if this might be Lauricius hooki. Only member of the genus in that region according to NMSU.

Let's see what others think.

Yes, that seems to be it
mine was a little larger than Bob's but over my head, hard to put a penny next to it (:

Can you...
...give a rough estimation as to the actual size? As in the legspan/body length instead of just saying "huge?"

they're about...
2-2.5" in legspan, but they're thickly built with a large body over 20mm at times when gravid, simply not leggy.

Largest ive seen had a body the size of a quarter and it wasnt even gravid.
