Megaphobema robustum (Columbian Giant Red-leg) 1 1/4-1/2+"**

Megaphobema robustum (Colombian Giant Red-leg) can reach lengths of 7-8" This species grows to an impressive size and has bright color, something you really don't see together all that often. This beautiful 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.

They are really starting to show that adult color. 

One of these young juveniles could make a good beginner or intermediate tarantula for an attentive and "hands-off" keeper. In my experience M. robustum has been a hardy species and these juveniles are well started. 

Recommended housing: Terrestrial juvenile or Mag-Terra enclosure

Recommended food: medium B. lateralis roaches
