Message: <blockquote data-quote="Josh's Frogs" data-source="post: 237182" data-attributes="member: 49228">Colombian Giant Red Leg (Megaphobema robustum): There are few tarantulas that are both as beautiful and as dramatic as the Colombian Giant Red Leg Tarantula! They are known for their exaggerated movements as they spread their legs to maximum width and raise their butts straight up in the air. They will do this to intimidate you if you try to give them food. They will do it when you give them water or remove boluses from their habitat. Heaven forbid you move their hide log! Absolute tarantula tantrum! An adult female may reach a legspan of up to eight inches, so her moods are not to be taken lightly. You can see why people keep them, anyways, though. Those electric crimson legs and that bright ring around their carapace are just so pretty! [ATTACH=full]75615[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]75616[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
