Asian vinegaroons: heavy-bodied arachnids with crushing pedipalps and a whip-like tail that sprays concentrated acetic acid when the animal is provoked. The spray smells exactly like vinegar, hence the name, and it is the entire defensive story: no venom, no medically relevant bite, nothing beyond a startling smell and brief irritation.
They are nocturnal burrowers wanting deep, moisture-holding substrate and a humid retreat, slow-moving, long lived, and about as low-risk as a large predatory arachnid gets.
Southeast Asian wild-caught supply arrives irregularly, and species identification at the trade level is loose, with country labels doing most of the work. The American vinegaroon is the reference point most keepers know; the Asian genus offers the same experience with less reliable availability, priced by whichever shipments happened recently.
The line on each tile: lowest ask per day.
Rarity BETA Rarity is supply, and only supply: the tier is how many sellers have ever carried a species, and for a single seller, how many separate listings. Price is not part of it, and neither is how recently it appeared. Tiers are given to tarantula species only.
