Just bought this T which was delivered via post, and wanted to confirm that it is indeed a Brachypelma Albopilosum (Honduran Curly Hair) as the site I used is apparently notorious for sending out the wrong spiders. Thanks!
About what size is it? It's often hard to determine species when they're that small. I will say though, I don't think that I'd guess a B. albopilosum. The setae on the abdomen looks right, but not the setae anywhere else.
It looks to be a young juvenile. Give it another molt or two and post another picture.
@EulersK I've seen another juvenile B. Albopilosum, and don't think they look alike. Although your theory on her being of hobby form may be correct. Tha ks for your help!
@KezyGLA You would be correct! Only saw their reviews after purchasing, so wanting be sure as she is still young, with a body size of around 3cm and leg span of around 4cm. I'm estimating she is around 8 months old.
@Swiped I knew it aha!! Guessing age is difficult as is guessing ID. Although, the fact you bought it from TB it will more than likely be a mutt of some sort. But hey, even mutts have charm right? I love my 'Pube Hair tarantula'
They do haha! No matter what she is I love her all the same. I've done a little more research and seen a few more pics so I'm starting to think she is as stated, but either way. She's a curious little one too, already crawling around on my hand as I was rearranging her enclosure.
