Chilean Fire Rose
The young Chilean fire roses and red rose spiders look very similar, and it is difficult for experts to tell them apart. A relatively simple way to distinguish them is to look at the color of their carapace. Let’s take a closer look at the basic characteristics of Chilean roses.
The main difference between Chilean fire roses and Chilean red roses is that they look redder. The adult length is about 14-15 cm, and the carapace is red instead of pink. But compared to Chilean red roses, they are rarer. In the past, they were considered to be red varieties of Chilean red roses, and they shared the Latin name "Grammostola rosea" with Chilean red roses. However, now European and American connoisseurs use "Grammostola porteri" to refer to Chilean red roses and recognize them. They exist as two separate species.
When the Chilean fire roses are no longer than 6 cm and show their adult color, you can find that they are significantly more red, while the hair of the Chilean red roses is more gray-white. Mate a male Chilean Fire Rose with a female Chilean Red Rose and successfully grow some offspring. The high hatching rate of the eggs (almost 100%) also proves that even though they are two species, their genetic relationship is very, very close.
