Captive born spiderlings are not too common as most Grammostola spp . are difficult to get fertile eggsacs from. Very slow growing. They are opportunistic burrowers. The red color phase is still the same species, but is stockier, has nice red hairs inside the femurs and is rumored to be a forest species. They are not often imported or bred.
Many hobbyists accidently mix the two color phases up and hybrids exist on the market.
Another new species first imported by Glades Herp in 1998 from Paragauay. They look like Aphonopelma seemani , but they have pink, curly hairs on their legs, underside and on the abdomen. Also, their hind legs are bigger, stronger and longer than the other legs which is a characteristic of the Eupalaestrus genus. They are a savanna species, hardy and females are very docile once established. They are slow growing.
