New Brachypelma albopilosum - the "true one" - ordered

[Phil]

My three little B albo slings arrived one week ago by post... Unfortunately, they all died within a week! Don't know why, they were truly tiny, maybe the 5-days postage trip was too much for them? Anyway I'm really sad... Don't know what happened...

Oh no. Really sorry. Did not get further down from your original post so ignore the other one. Sorry mate.

All three? Jesus..that truly sucks. Sorry Nicolas

man that sucks. sorry to hear about the loss

on a side note, how do we know these are the "true" albopilosum? and not a hybrid? I find it irritating to get a spider and then find out yours is the false one. Why not call it the hairier color form and ours the balding color form?

Hi,
I regularly breed albopilosum for several years, but the wild form is really a spider. Do you know about a source of wild form albo anywhere in Europe? Eastern Europe would be even better. Thanx.

cracks me up every time i see a post like this so I have a possible true albo and a "fake" albo. and a true Brachypelma redleg and a fake one

Seriously though, i think i got one of each on the B. albo's. the smaller one i ordered from Paul at petcenter.info is much more hairy and curly than the accidental order i got from Jaime's. I'll have to take pics of them tomorrow when i feed to compare.
