'Chorillo Chica' is a striking undescribed South American terrestrial that just entered the US hobby in 2026 — and it is already generating real attention. Adults develop a metallic copper coloration across the carapace, abdomen, and legs that catches the light in a way that almost looks lit from within, contrasted with bluish femurs that add a subtle iridescent pop. Husbandry is very similar to Thrixopelma species, which makes it a manageable species for keepers with some New World terrestrial experience. Females reach a medium adult size with a sturdy, well-built terrestrial frame. This is a genuine new arrival in the US hobby, and early stock is limited.
