'Chorillo Grande'\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheraphosinae sp. 'Chorillo Grande' is an undescribed South American terrestrial that arrived in the US hobby in 2026 alongside its close relative Theraphosinae sp. 'Chorillo Chica' — and in person it may be the more visually striking of the two. Adults develop a vivid orange abdominal patch that pops hard against a darker body, with rust-colored striping running down the legs that gives the animal a clean, painterly look from any angle. Like the Chica, this is a true Thrixopelma-care species, making it a manageable addition for keepers with New World terrestrial experience. Females reach a medium adult size with a sturdy, well-built terrestrial frame. As more photos circulate in the hobby, expect this one to climb the want list fast.
