Brachypelma boehmei, (also known as the Mexican fireleg, or the Mexican rustleg tarantula), is a tarantula native to Mexico in Guerrero state.

The Mexican Fireleg resembles its better known relative, Mexican redknee tarantula (Brachypelma smithi) in its dramatic orange and black coloration.

In Mexico, permits are required to collect or remove any spider of the family of tarantulas, Theraphosidae and the Mexican Fireleg tarantula is now frequently bred in captivity, reducing the need to collect it from the wild.

The Mexican Fireleg tarantula is native to Mexico, where it is found along the central Pacific coast in western Guerrero State, where it prefers dry scrubland, and is found in burrows, either self-made or abandoned rodent or lizard burrows, usually under rocks or fallen logs.
