Continuing my series of my Halloween Species Showcase, I present the Brachypelma boehmei or Mexican Fire Leg. Brilliant orange and deep black is the reason why I chose this species.

Why is it that tarantula's and skulls go so well together? 😁😍 thx for the cool footage.

Reda Acheache ha! Yeah they do look cool with skulls as a backdrop. Must be because we’re used to seeing them in horror movies. 🤓👍🏼

Ah, on that pronounciation issue... boehmei is a re-latinized form of the german last name Böhme (meaning someone from bohemia). And as that, best approach might be german pronounciation. The german letter 'ö' is not equal to english 'o' or 'oh' but a sound like the 'u' in words like 'hurt' 'murder' 'burn' etc. Same goes for the schroederi :D

Great video 😊. I love Boehmei too they are gorgeous. I have a Brachypelma emilia juvenile. My Boehmei is a small sling & climbs on my hand when I'm doing water or maintenance. I really think he knows I'm no threat. He does like to climb & gets a big round abdomen easily so you are definitely correct there. Your Spideys are beautiful xx

Gorgeous girl. I do love my Brachypelma/Tliltocatl genus, though most of mine (including my boehmei) are still in the s'ling stage. I do believe my boehmei is on the list among a few others for it's first outgrown-enclosure rehouse very soon. Cannot wait until it is really starts to show some of that gorgeous coloration in another couple of molts time.

@TarantulaHaven 3 жыл бұрын

Rik Robinson they’re kinda slow to grow but they do out on color pretty quick. By about 3 inches it’ll look like an adult. Maybe not quite as brilliant but you’ll definitely see the color.

Hi Alex, great to see another upload, beautiful shots. As far as I know the correct pronunciation of latin is lost and subject to speculation and so there is no real right and wrong because we just don't realy know and everyxthing is an aproximation. When we get to the speciesname it's another thing, because like the baumgarteni it is often/sometimes the name of the person that discribed it. But I think that the latter is kind of widely known. Pleasse correct me if I am wrong. *cheers!* :)

@TarantulaHaven 3 жыл бұрын

Christoph Hager you’re absolutely correct. In fact Andrew Smith pretty much says it in one of his videos that it’s your preference how you pronounce it but the important thing is that you’re using the scientific names over common names so I’m good with that. And yes, Baumgarteni is named after a person. 🤓👍🏼

B. boehmei was my 2nd Tarantula that I purchased over 10 years ago. At the time, it was a 1.5" unsexed juvie, but it turned out to be a female thankfully. Her name is Fluffy and she is generally well-mannered. Definitely a highlight of my small collection along with my B. hamorii. Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)

Baumgarten is a common German surname :) And I think Mr Smith has problems with our umlaut. Because the discoverer is called Günter not Gunter ;) So maybe the spiders name is Böhmei (written without umlaut Boehmei) Confusion complete *LOL*

Just recently sent my male boehmei off to start his baby making journey with a great local breeder. Great species to work with. I currently have 8 brachy species, and boehmei was definitely one of the more skittish. But man, do they ever make up for it in looks. Downside to brachy slings, though. They all look exactly alike for the first several molts. Don't feel too bad, I ended up with a really overpriced hamorii sling thinking I was buying a smithi ex.annitha. Live and learn. Keep up the great work, and keep on keepin.

@TarantulaHaven 3 жыл бұрын

Morgan Mc yeah about the slings. The guy I bought them from had several Brachy species. Fortunately at the time his boehmei were similarly priced to his auratum. I think the auratum were about $20 more. I’m good with it though. I already had 2 auratum and my male B. beohmei has died so at least I have another shot at a male. If not, they are so beautiful I don’t mind having another female. If my daughter’s turns out to be male I can hand it down to her. 🤓👍🏼

@morganmc6462 3 жыл бұрын

There ya go! Sounds like a solid plan. I have a 2.5" klassi that's in deep premolt, so I'm anxious to see it's new color, and see if I can snatch the exuvia and confirm that it's a fem. My fem. verdezi is burried in premolt, too. I have a lot of different species. New and old. But the Brachy's and Aphonopelmas have always been my favorites... such great display species.

Awesome! Glad you liked it. Yes she is one of my most beloved pets. I don't think the pairing took because she should have made an egg sac by now.

Hoping you can answer a question for me, when a seller says that it is 1/2" - 3/4" are they talking about the length of the T with the legs or just the torso and abdomen ? I'm asking cause I want to buy one but want to get the enclosure before hand so I have everything ready :)

That’s usually leg span. 1/2 - 3/4” are usually spiderling sizes.

@TarantulaHaven 3 жыл бұрын

Aphilia Rachno it was a relief to hear it from an expert’s mouth. I’m kind of a stickler for pronunciation and it stems from me growing up with Spanish as my first language and learning English passively from school and my environment. It was important for me to fit in and it was always important to me to speak English as proficiently as I could. Unfortunately with binomial names of tarantulas the pronunciation is so subjective that it drives me crazy trying to figure it out. Fortunately, in one of Andrew Smith’s videos he says it’s not important how you pronounce it but rather that you’re using the scientific name over the common name because no matter how you pronounce it people will definitely know the species you are talking about. 🤓👍🏼

@aphiliarachno 3 жыл бұрын

@@TarantulaHaven Right. And writing it correctly is more important than pronouncing it correctly. I did not know that Spanish is your first language, interesting.
