They are stunning aren't they?

 

[Ny0ka]

Of all my Ts this is my favourite for sure.

The girl in my avatar was my first ever T, sadly no longer with me but I have 3 youngsters to watch grow into big beauties.

I love the feisty orange buggers

And they come in different flavors, I believe, Enn49 has some if my faulty memory serves me right.

They do indeed.
I currently have a sling and a juvi Red Colour form (RCF) and a sling Usambara Mountain Variety but there are more. I did have a Tete (Chocolate or BCF) but it sadly died.

There are:_
TCF: typical colour form named after the colouration of the type, different pale beige colouration, sometimes with a greenish sheen, long setae on legs and abdomen pale pink.
RCF: red colour form. Long and short setae red/orange, often sold as P. mamillatus or P. spp. "usambara"
UMV: Usambara Mountains variant. Probably a natural intergrade between TCF and RCF (but more close to TCF). Their coloration is more intensive yellow/pale orange than TCF.
DCF: dark colour form. Coloured general darkgrey, partial black. Carapace gold/yellow with dark radial striae - those are not as intensive as P. murinus TCF. Rarely seen and not in the hobby. The abdominal pattern are the same in all colour variations."

So what colour form would you say mine is?

I've not seen adult versions of most colour forms in the flesh but my guess is that yours is Usambara.
