Brachypelma boehmei
''Brachypelma boehmei'' (also known as the Mexican fireleg,〔(The Omaha Newspapers )〕 or the Mexican rustleg tarantula) is a tarantula native to Mexico in Guerrero state.〔(Map )〕
These tarantulas prefer semi-humid climates, and are obligate terrestrial burrowers. As with all closely related tarantula species, they defend themselves with urticating hair when provoked. They are not the easiest species to keep in captivity and should be only considered as pets once comfortable with keeping several other species.
==Appearance and characteristics==
The Mexican fireleg resembles its better-known relative, the Mexican redknee tarantula (''Brachypelma smithi''), in its dramatic orange and black coloration, though the adults of the species range from 5 to 6 inches in size. This species of tarantula has a slower growth rate than many of the larger South American tarantula species. The black femora (upper legs) provide a dark dividing band between the rich orange color of the carapace and lower legs. Unlike the orange joints of ''Brachypelma smithi'', the legs of this species are a bright, fiery red on the patellae (or knees), fading gradually to a paler orange further down and tipped by black tarsi (or feet). Although not particularly defensive, this species of spider can have a nervous temperament, where the spider can flick urticating hairs when it feels threatened.
