Brachypelma klassi - Mexican Pink Leg - Adult Female for Sale

The Mexican Pink Leg (Brachypelma Klassi) 

A Rare and Radiant Brachypelma

The Mexican Pink Jewel, scientifically known as Brachypelma klaasi, is the Pink Fluffy Beauty of the tarantula world—and for good reason. Unlike every other Brachypelma species, this stunning species stands apart with its striking pink setae that shimmer over bold black limbs and a deep charcoal abdomen. Native to Mexico and reaching an impressive 6+ inch legspan, the Brachypelma klaasi is the only true pink Brachypelma on the planet, making it an absolute must-have for any serious collector! 

Rarity and Conservation Status

B. klaasi is one of the rarest Brachypelmas in the U.S. hobby, thanks to a combination of extremely limited imports and the notoriously difficult breeding process. With Mexico enforcing strict export laws on native tarantulas, this species has become nearly impossible to source—meaning captive-bred specimens like this one are genuine treasures. This scarcity only increases its value and desirability in the hobby.

A Gentle Giant with Grace

What truly sets the Mexican Pink Leg apart isn’t just its rare coloration—it’s the temperament. Unlike other Brachypelmas that are known for kicking hairs at the slightest disturbance, Brachypelma klaasi is impressively calm and confident. While it does have urticating hairs, this species rarely uses them. (unlike its closely related counterparts) Its size and boldness make it secure in its space, leading to one of the most handleable large tarantulas on the market.This specific female, currently 3.5+ inches and has been raised with gentle handling since she was only an inch in size. Now, she’s not only tolerant of human interaction—she actively allows it. You can stroke her carapace, lift her with ease, and admire her vibrant coloring without fear of a hair flick or defensive posture. She embodies the ideal temperament for those wanting a larger, interactive display tarantula. That said, If you’re looking to add a show-stopping, docile, and shockingly pink tarantula to your collection, the Mexican Pink Leg (Brachypelma klassi) is unmatched. She’s rare, she’s beautiful, and she just might become your favorite tarantula to show off.
