\"Brachypelma<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Brachypelma Klaasi, popularly known as the\n\u2018Mexican Pink Beauty\u2019 is a spectacular and rare specie of tarantula. Native to\nthe Mexican region, this tarantula is best known for its bright hues along the\npatella and carapace. Usually docile in nature, the Mexican Pink Beauty is a\nperfect pet for people who are planning to keep tarantulas for the first time.\nHowever, do note, that getting hold of this specie can be quite difficult.\nOwing to its slow growth and the degradation of habitat, Brachypelma Klaasi is\ncurrently deemed to be endangered. In order to preserve this specie and\nmaintain the ecological balance, we will suggest you to, avoid purchasing wild\ncaught Mexican Pink Beauties. Instead of settling for wild variants, try\ngetting this tarantula from successful breeders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scientific\nName<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Brachypelma Klaasi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geographical distribution<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Mexican\nPink Beauty is native to the regions of Mexico. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preferred natural habitat <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The natural\nhabitat of Brachypelma Klaasi is along the hot deciduous forests that are\naround 300 to 1,400 meters above the sea level. The ideal soil should be sandy,\nand the ideal temperature should range between 25 degrees to 32 degrees\nCelsius. In the wild, this tarantula protects itself from potential threats by\nburrowing under tree trunks, leaves, abandoned nests of other spiders and rocks.\nTypically, you will find this spider prefers burrowing with two chambers. While\nthe first chamber is along the surface level, the second one will be around 15\ncms under the surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preferred food in the wild <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Mexican\nPink Beauty is a casual eater and it thrives on a meal of cockroaches,\nearthworms, grasshoppers and other small insects in the wild. In a bid to\ndetect their potential prey they create an almost invisible web at the entry\npoint of their burrow. Despite being casual eaters, the Pink Beauty hunts for\nits prey in the surrounding vegetation once in a while. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personality <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Like we already\nmentioned, the Brachypelma Klaasi is usually docile in nature. This in turn\nmakes it an excellent display tarantula. Although they are usually nervous,\nthis spider can kick out a couple of urticating hairs when it is constantly\nprovoked. The Mexican Pink Beauty is consistently active during the early hours\nof the day and the evening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feeding as a pet<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When I got a Mexican Pink Rump, I started out by feeding them baby crickets. With consistent feeding and care, my tarantula reached \u00bd\u201d. Eventually, as it started increasing in size, I introduced a diet of baby crickets and roaches. I would recommend you to, feed your tarantula eight adult crickets and two to three roaches once a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lifespan both male and female <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While the female Mexican\nPink Rump usually has a lifespan of 20 to 25 years, their male counterparts\nonly manage to survive for 4 to 5 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pet enclosure type <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Mexican Pink Beauty usually rests in a terrarium of 40x30x30 inches (LxBxH). The ideal is around 25 degree Celsius to 29 degree Celsius and the ideal humidity ranges from 55 to 65%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pet enclosure habitat layout <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since the Mexican Pink\nRump is an avid burrower you should keep a substrate which is at least 1 inch\ndeep, in the terrarium. This tarantula will then come up with a two-chamber\nburrow from the available substrate. For the substrate, you can come up with a\nconcoction of peat moss, dirt, and coconut fibre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mating \/ reproducing <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While the Mexican Pink\nRump might take some time, the end results are completely worth it. Since the\nfemales are exacting and show signs of cannibalism when hungry, make sure they\nare well-fed before the mating. Once you\u2019ve taken care of these small details,\nintroduce the male and female tarantulas in a dry terrarium. Do note that while\nthe terrarium should be dry, the substrate should be slightly moist. You should\nalso start the breeding only 4 to 6 weeks after the female has molted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Development rate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Mexican Pink Rump has a relatively medium to slow growth. When I first got this specie, it was \u00bc\u201d. After a year of consistent care and feeding, it 1\/6\u201d. After three years, you can expect a steady growth of three inches. The average size of these tarantulas ranges from 6 to 7 inches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
