Mexican Red Rump Tarantula

Mexican Red Rump Tarantula for Sale

A terrestrial burrowing spider from Mexico and central America, these tarantulas have distinctive red hairs on their abdomen. Females grow to an impressive size with a leg span of 13 cm.

This spider is a fossorial species, meaning it’s adapted to digging burrows and living underground. Some burrows have been found up to 45cm deep.

 They’ll eat anything they can overpower including insects, small lizards and rodents. In captivity, live food is required. Tarantulas generally don’t like to be handled and some experts say that this is a good reason to avoid them.
