Hello everyone, I'm trying to breed T. Albopilosus and I'm wondering how on earth y'all can tell the difference between Nicaraguan and Honduran forms? I've seen side-by-side pictures and I still can't tell in the slightest.

Here's the Male:

Female 2:

I've been told the Male and Female 1 were Nicaraguan form, but I'm unsure about #2 (Setae looks pretty different?). I've raised her from a Juvenile while the Male and Female 1 were bought wild caught as adults. Any thoughts on their locality and how I can figure it out myself? Thanks in advance!

Male and female one does look like nicuraguan, they have a shinier carapace with a silver sheen to it, and are more fluffy overall.
