New to the hobby, and I've seen a lot of discussion around B. albopilosum "Hobby form" and "Pure" form. Was wondering if anyone could tell me which one my specimen is.
So so docile. Even when I stress her out the most, I've never once gotten a threat posture or hairs kicked at me.
There's no hobby form vs. pure form, but B. albopilosum Honduran or Nicaraguan form.
And yours is the one from Nicaragua. It's the fluffier one. This is how the Honduran form looks like:
@Thekla I can see the differences between the fluffiness, haha. Here's a better picture. If mine is the Nicaraguan one, should I expect the carapace to become more copper colored like yours or is that just an individual color form? Mine is a juvenile as well so just wondering.

Sorry, I can't seem to get the image to link properly, please let me know if this one works: https://imgur.com/a/5SAdAuH
Mine is definitely younger than yours, and she had just moulted when I took the picture, that's why she looks a bit copper-y. Yours won't get this colouration anymore. Her colours might get a bit dull before moulting, but other than that she'll keep the dark blackish carapace.
I see I see. I love it. Is yours as voracious as mine when eating? She just keeps on waiting for crickets. And she's super docile all the time. She puts up with a lot of nonsense and I've never seen a threat posture thrown or hairs kicked.
