This very colorful central Chilean species is not commonly imported like G. porteri. It looks similar to G.porteri, but it has very beautiful red "rose" hairs on the legs and a red rose-colored carapace. It also has light leg striping (off-white).
It is a hardy, docile and long-lived species. It grows to a 5 3/4" legspan, but older adult females can be large in overall girth. It is a burrowing species.Email to sales@tarantulaspiders.com to let me know how many of these you want. A shipment is scheduled to arrive end of Jan. '08.
