Brachypelma boehmei (also known as the Mexican fireleg or the Mexican rustleg tarantula) is a tarantula native to Mexico in Guerrero state.These tarantulas prefer semi-humid climates and are obligate terrestrial burrowers. As with all closely related tarantula species they defend themselves with urticating hair when provoked. They are not the easiest species to keep in captivity and should be only considered as pets once comfortable with keeping several other species.
