Bracypelma emilia is a quite active and sometimes aggressive spider.The Prosoma is coloured orange with a black triangular spot. The ophistosoma is black but shows some singular reddish hairs.
The fifth sections of its legs are coloured in a bright tone (beige, yellow or orange). Brachypelma emilia stays on the ground most of time, so it needs pieces of corc or roots as hiding-places. Don t forget to put a waterbowl with drinking water or watergel in the terrarium. The size of the terrarium should be about 40x30x20 and the substrate ( a layer of 6-10cm) should partially be moist.
