This species is found in western Mexico and is a member of the genus Brachypelma and is listed as a protected species in Appendix II of the Washington Convention (CITES).

It gets its name from the bright orange-red pattern between the foot joints, the whole body is covered with fine orange fluff, and the adult foot span is generally 16-18cm, and the overall look is relatively stout. Slow-moving, less aggressive but very easy to kick.

Because it is produced in the semi-desert region of Mexico, the feeding temperature can be high, generally between 24-32 degrees, and the humidity is 5060%. The growth rate is very slow, with a life cycle of 10-25 years. Raising B genera generally does not require evasion. Officially, this relatively long life span and flamboyant appearance have gradually threatened the wild populations of their native species, and the large number of catches has led to their endangerment, and they may be the first species of birdcatcher spider to be protected.

At present, the Mexican red knee and several other species of B spiders have been bred on a large scale by players and breeders around the world, and the artificial number is very considerable. However, it is still a forbidden breed.

The above information is from the Internet, and I only summarize it.
