Brachypelma auratum (Mexican Flame Knee Tarantula)

As with all species in the Brachypelma genus, this makes an excellent display tarantula. It has striking coloration, is relatively active (especially as a spiderlings and juvenile), and is not as easily startled as many other tarantulas. The auratum is sometimes difficult to find, so if you are looking to add this beautiful species to your collection, get it while it’s available.
