Megaphobema robustum (Columbian Giant Red-leg) 3"+ MALE

Megaphobema robustum (Colombian Giant Red-leg) can reach lengths of 7-8" This colorful and unusual tarantula possesses unique defensive behavior. When threatened the Giant Red Leg will face backwards with abdomen erect. Attempting to appear larger the Giant Red Leg will bob up and down in hopes of scaring off the threat. If this display does not scare off the threat M. robustum will quickly spin around in hopes of striking the threat with it's sharp spines on it's hind legs.

Could make a good beginner tarantula for an attentive and "hands-off" keeper. In my experience M. robustum has been a fairly hardy species and this specimen is very well started. 

Recommended housing: Adult Complete Terrestrial 8x8x14" or larger.

Recommended food: large B. lateralis roaches
