Why do hobbyists keep Brachypelma klaasi?

• Stunning Coloration: A velvety black body set off by bright pink feet, most vivid right after a fresh molt.
• Docile Temperament: Calm and easygoing, a comfortable species to keep and display.
• Rare in the Hobby: A slower growing, harder to find species compared to most of the genus, making it a genuine standout for collectors.

How should Brachypelma klaasi be kept?

• Adult Size: Reaches about 5 to 6 inches at full leg span.
• Enclosure: Choose an enclosure at least twice the leg span in width, depth, and height, with a hide included for security.
• Temperature: Keep between 65 to 75 degrees F.
• Humidity: Keep the substrate damp but not saturated, resembling the texture and color of coffee grounds. Organic coconut fiber works well since it resists mold and holds humidity steadily.
• Water: A shallow textured water dish works well, something they can grip when climbing out.
• Diet: Crickets, roaches, or mealworms sized to about a quarter of the leg span, matching the width of the carapace (head). Feed at least once a week.
• Temperament: Docile, though a bit skittish, this species is more likely to flee or flick urticating hairs than stand its ground.

Are there any additional notes or considerations?

• Only True Pink Brachypelma: Unlike most of the genus, which shows some degree of red coloring, this is the only species in Brachypelma with true pink feet.
• Slow Grower: Grows even slower than most of its relatives, so treat this one as a genuine long term project.
• Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
