Megaphobema robustum (Columbian Giant Red-leg) 2-2 1/2" PAIR #NL-44/51

Megaphobema robustum (Colombian Giant Red-leg) can reach lengths of 7-8" This colorful and unusual tarantula possesses unique defensive behavior. When threatened the Giant Red Leg will face backwards with abdomen erect. Attempting to appear larger the Giant Red Leg will bob up and down in attempt to scare off the threat. If this display does not scare off the threat M. robustum will quickly spin around in hopes of striking the threat with it's sharp spines on it's hind legs.

PAIR: Includes an immature male and an immature female. M. robustum is NOT a communal species and individuals must be kept separate until the ideal time to breed.  

Recommended enclosure: A 4x4x6" Terrestrial Kit w/Magnetic Lock or 4x4x5” Terrestrial w/Classic Porthole.  Either would make a great enclosure for this specimen for now! Keep in mind, in a molten or two this specimen will be large enough for a 7x7x11” Terrestrial Enclosure Kit or 8x8x14" Terrestrial Enclosure Kit. 

Currently feeding on: Medium B. lateralis.
