Hemirrhagus (Tarantulas)
Hemirrhagus is a fascinating genus of tarantulas endemic to Mexico, many of which are adapted to cave environments (troglodytic).
These spiders display cryptic behavior, specialized habitat preferences, and are rarely seen in the hobby.
Their secretive nature, humidity requirements, and in some cases reduced pigmentation make them intriguing yet challenging for advanced keepers seeking something truly different.
