- This New World Opportunistic Burrower is from Brazil and Ecuador. I've also read that they can be found in Colombia, Bolivia and Peru on a single website.
- The Pamphobeteus genus has had many recent changes. This species had been transferred to Vitalius platyomma, and Pamphobeteus platyomma is now considered nomina dubia. Vitalius platyomma was trasnsferred to Vitalius wacketi. Therefore, these tarantulas are "techinically" Vitalius wacketi. However, they were captive bred as Pamphobeteus platyomma, so we're going to be stubborn and sell them as such...
- The adult size is 7" - 8".
- As adults they are not very aggressive, but they will flick hairs quite easily when disturbed.
