She was sold to me as a B. auratum when she was much smaller, and I was actually leaning more towards B. hamorii when she was that size. But now that she recently molted, her colors are starting to show and I'm not so sure, because she's still tiny. B. hamorii or B. auratum juvie? about 2.75in DLS.
Colors aren´t as bright as B. auratum, also the color on the knees isn't as thin, looks like a B. hamorii to me
 
For sure not a B. auratum. They have red, flame-like patches on the knees.

It will be either a B. smithi or a B. hamorii (most likely the latter). There are some threads on AB about how to tell the difference as they are quite similar.
