Brachypelma hamorii (form. smithi) (Mexican Red Knee) 2 1/4-2 1/2" FEMALE #GN88

The Mexican Red Knee is the “Hobby Classic Tarantula” and also Jamie’s Logo inspiration! This tarantula is adored by beginners and experienced keepers alike. Known for being large, colorful and docile (yet skittish) this scrub-land/desert tarantula is extremely hardy. A long-lived species the females are known to sometimes live in excess of 30 years. Fun fact: This was the tarantula seen in Indian Jones “Temple of Doom”. 

Recommended enclosure: A 4x4x6” Terrestrial Kit w/Magnetic Lock or 4x4x5” Terrestrial w/Classic Porthole.  Either would make a great enclosure for now, and would be outgrown in a few molts. A 7x7x11” Terrestrial Enclosure Kit or 8x8x14" Terrestrial Enclosure Kit could make a great permeant enclosure for this tarantula. 

Currently feeding on:Medium B. lateralis.
