These Brachypelma baumgarteni are unique to the US hobby because they are not the Euro-trash mutts the hobby has been besieged by the last 2 decades, nor are they the Canadian crop that found their way in to a dealer’s hands in Southern CA. These are Mexican! Bred in Mexico, born in Mexico and imported into the US legally. Yes, LEGALLY. All have individual serial numbers. The picture is of the mother, and you can see the immediate difference between legitimate baumgarteni and the mashup hybridized individuals we had been led to believe were baumgarteni. These won’t be around forever, so I suggest you act with a little urgency. Also, why the higher price you may ask, well it’s due to the pedigree and the scarcity. You’re paying as I paid for a premium and correct species identification. They appreciate temps in the 75-84 range and humidity of 60%.
