Brazilian terrestrials, large, fast growing, and consistently underrated. V. chromatus and V. roseus are the traded species.
They reach six or seven inches, take food aggressively, and grow at a rate closer to Phormictopus than to the slow Brazilian species. Urticating hairs are present and used. Temperament sits between skittish and defensive depending on the individual.
Supply is adequate, which puts them in the same bracket as Nhandu and Lasiodora: a genuinely large New World terrestrial without the premium those usually carry. The genus gets less attention than those two purely on name recognition, which occasionally means the same size of spider sells for less here for no reason connected to the animal.
