Hello,
In my experience the true roseus are quite rare in the uk. Large quantities of an unidentified acanthoscurria species have been imported into the UK from paraguay and then supplied into the UK hobby as V. roseus.
If you have a true roseus, I would advise you keep them as eupalaestrus. spec.
Approx, 70 celcius, wilth night time drop, and not too damp. approx 60%
V.roseus tend to be one of the more aggressive south american species.
Regards,
Andy.
(Please someone contradict me if i am wrong. I have not had much experience with this spec.)

The male looks very grey in colour and the females are a rich chocolate brown colour with pink to almost orange lateral lines not dissimilar in arangement to A. seemani.These guys also seem very docile and i have actualy witnessed them feed so i think i will buying a couple of females and the immature male tomorow.Comment
