Mexican Red Rump (Tliltocatl Vagans)

Great for beginners. The velvet black appearance with it’s hairy red rump make this a very attractive tarantula. This “new world” tarantula will flick their hairs when it feels threaten like all other “new world” Species. They burrow a lot when young, but once they become juveniles, they start hanging out in the open, making this a great display tarantula.

They are very terrestrial and spend a lot of time in the open, which is one of the reasons this species of tarantula is so popular to keepers. Even though they spend so much time in the open, don’t deprive them of a shelter, which they will use when feeling threatened or stressed.
