Mexican Rose Grey Tarantula (Tliltocatl verdezi)

Tliltocatl verdezi

The Tliltocatl verdezi, known as 'Mexican Rose Grey'. A species described in 2003 (formerly Brachypelma), it is distinguished by the light carapace (gray/pink or ocher) crossed by a distinct dark frontal triangle, and an abdomen covered with bright reddish bristles (similar to the vagans). Less massive (5.1-5.9 inches) but equally fascinating, it represents the aesthetic link between the light Brachypelmas and the dark Tliltocatls. As a terrestrial it is docile, rustic and easy to keep.
