Common Name: Mexican Golden Red Rump
Scientific Name: Brachypelma albiceps

Status: Captive Bred

Country of origin - Mexico
Habitat: Ground dwelling
Suitability:  Generally a fairly docile spider

My Opinion:
Another very pretty, large and colourful Brachypelma tarantula. The Mexican Golden Red Rump is generally docile and tends to sit out in full view, they therefore make a good display animal. The colours are bright and vibrant, the carapace is a light creamy colour, the body is black and the abdomen has long red hairs.

This animal is covered by CITES regulations, Annex B. I do not import animals and therefore know relatively little about CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). I can send these animals to EU countries (I do not supply certificates) and I cannot send to countries outside the EU. Please do not order these animals unless your postal address is within the European Union. Please do not order these animals if you require a certificate. If an animal is ordered in error I will remove the item from your order and refund the price of the animal.

It is difficult to give a size for the spidersas stock is constantly changing. Generally, the small size is a spiderling upto 1.5cm body length (small will be SMALL), juvenile is a grown on spiderlingwith a body length of about 1.5cm, medium 2cm to 4cm and a large is 4cm tofully adult (but a lot depends on the species!)

If you would like me to measure the body length of any medium or large spider, please send me an email. I cannot measure the body length of small and juvenile size spiders as they are constantly changing.
