Brachypelma albiceps — the Mexican Gold Red Rump — is a striking and sought-after species known for its vibrant colors and hardy nature. Native to Mexico, this New World tarantula features bold, reddish-orange markings on its carapace, contrasted by its signature golden-colored posterior. As it matures, it reveals stunning red and gold hues, making it one of the most visually captivating species in the Brachypelma genus.
A calm, docile species, albiceps is perfect for both beginner and intermediate keepers, though its impressive coloration and slow growth rate make it a highly prized tarantula for collectors. It thrives in a well-structured enclosure, often creating webs that add to its allure.
With its vibrant colors, gentle temperament, and ease of care, the Mexican Gold Red Rump is a must-have for anyone looking to add a stunning and reliable species to their collection.
