The Mexican redleg or red-legged tarantula (Brachypelma emilia) is a species of terrestrial tarantula closely related to the famous Mexican redknee tarantula. Like the redknee it is a docile tarantula and popular in the pet trade. It is slow growing and, like many tarantulas, females can live for decades. Шаблон:Citation needed
Description
The Mexican redleg, also known as the red-legged tarantula, has a dark-colored body with the second joint of its legs being pink, red or orange. Its carapace is light colored with a distinctive black triangle at the front. Following moulting, the colors are more pronounced.
An adult female has a body roughly 65 mm long, with a legspan of 12.5 cm, and a weight of approximately 15 to 16 grams.Шаблон:Citation needed

Conservation
All species of Brachypelma were placed on CITES Appendix II in 1994, thus restricting trade.[1] Nevertheless, large numbers of tarantulas caught in the wild continue to be smuggled out of Mexico, including species of Brachypelma.[2] (However, the trade in B. emilia largely involves captive-bred spiderlings.)[3]
In Mexico, the species is listed as "threatened".[3]
Distribution
This species is found in the foothills of the Sierra Madre Occidental in Sinaloa and Nayarit in Mexico.[4]
In captivity
The Mexican redleg is a mostly docile species, perhaps more so even than the redknee. That, coupled with its coloration, and impressive size, makes it a very popular pet species. As such it is considered to be threatened by capture for sale to the pet trade.[5]
It is very reluctant to bite when distressed, but possesses urticating hair and will flick these if it feels threatened. Шаблон:Citation needed
Taxonomy
It was first described in 1856 by Scottish zoologist Adam White as Mygale Emilia,[6][7] but in 1891 Eugene Simon transferred it to the new genus, Brachypelma, making B .emilia the type species.[8]
