One of the favourite and desirable Brachypelma species in the hobby due it not being as common and a nice temperament. Being fairly recently described, this is a real beauty hence its common name. It has an overall black robust body decorated with the thick rust – red or pink hairs on the abdomen and legs. It can be kept like most other Brachypelma spp. on a mildly moistened or dry substrate with a large water bowl for drinking and periodical misting of one side of the substrate.
