Originally labeled as T. albopilosis by the original owner as a tiny sling. But now that it’s bigger it doesn’t look like that to me. About 1 1/2”. Will hang out on side like this if undisturbed. But will bolt down into a burrow when startled (shallow substrate at the moment).
It looks like a T. albopilosus to me, but at 1.5'' it looks just about right. Curly hairs don't have "curly hairs" or "fuzz" until larger sizes. At the moment, you should grow it out to confirm or get closer to what it could possibly be. But as of now, it looks like a T. albo to me.

Ok. I have another that’s a little bit bigger that has all its fuzz already. So maybe after the next molt I’ll have a better idea.
