golden Blue Leg Baboon Tarantula - Harpactira Pulchripes
Not applicable with Auction Items
Harpactira pulchripes, commonly known as the Golden Blue Leg Baboon, is a stunning Old World fossorial tarantula species. This South African native is highly sought after in the hobby for its striking golden carapace and vibrant blue legs, making it one of the most visually captivating baboon tarantulas available. Unlike many Old World species, H. pulchripes is known for its relatively skittish rather than defensive nature, making it an excellent choice for those looking to transition into keeping Old World species. While it is not recommended for beginners due to its speed and potent venom, experienced keepers will appreciate its display tendencies and impressive webbing behavior.
