Scientific Name: Tliltocatl vagans  (Formally Brachypelma)

Status : Captive Bred

Country of origin - Mexico
Habitat: Ground dwelling
Suitability: Docile, large and attractive

My Opinion:
The Mexican Red Rump is one of the 'old favourites' they have been in the pet trade even longer than me and are a good beginners spider. Generally docile, their colours are lovely (especially just after moulting), they sit out in full view and live for many years.

This animal is covered by CITES regulations, Annex B (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). I can no longer send to Northern Ireland. Please do not order these animals if your address is in Northern Ireland! If an animal is ordered in error I will remove the item from your order and refund the price of the animal (less the PayPal fee if applicable).

It is difficult to give a size for the spiders as stock is constantly changing. Generally, the small size is a spiderling up to 1cm body length (small will be SMALL), juvenile is a grown on spiderling with a body length of 1cm to 2cm, medium 2cm to 4cm and a large is 4cm to fully adult (but a lot depends on the species!)

I am happy to send a photo of any size tarantula spider that you are interested in, just email me!

All spiders are unsexed unless stated.
