A gorgeous docile Mexican species with pink legs, and red knees. How can you beat that? 

This gorgeous docile Mexican species has been elusive to the hobby in recent years (at least the pure form). 

This species is similar to Brachypelma boehmei (Mexican Fire Leg), except this species features pink legs with orange/red knees instead of just solid orange legs. 

I call these the "improved boehmei" due to their cleaner and higher contrast blacks against higher color. 

These two species have been hybridized by unknowing hobbyists in the past, which unfortunately has muddied the USA blood. 

This is one of Will's top picks due to this species rarity of true blood, and the fact that they are so gorgeous in person. Definitely a must have for any lover of colorful docile species. 

Pictured: One of our breeder females. The pink in the legs can be as pink as the last photo! It all depends on lighting. We included pics in natural light (which changes) so you can get an idea of how awesome these are.

Cage Requirements

Choose an enclosure at least twice the tarantula's leg span in width, depth, and height. Ensure proper ventilation to prevent condensation and provide a hide to help your pet feel secure.

Diet & Water

Feed your invertebrates crickets, roaches, or mealworms—we primarily use crickets and recommend feeding weekly. Provide a textured, shallow water dish as a drinking source, ensuring it's just water (no sugar, sponges, or additives).

Temperature & Humidity

Keep invertebrates at room temperature (65°F-75°F) and maintain humidity using soil. The soil should be damp but not saturated, resembling the texture and color of coffee grounds.

Soil & Plants

We use organic coconut fiber for our tarantulas because it resists mold and holds humidity well. For bioactive enclosures, choose nutrient-rich soil, ensuring it is free from insecticides and pests.
