Brachypelma • Theraphosidae
A black-bodied Mexican beauty with vivid orange legs. Classic Brachypelma care: dry coco/peat with a water dish, low-to-medium humidity, room temp. Notoriously slow-growing but very long-lived and calm as an adult — a great display beginner. Urticating hairs, mild venom; rarely defensive.
