You'll probably have better success just saying Nicaraguan.

Are the Ometepe Island variants the ones with the blue femurs?

I've got plenty of Nicaraguans and in specifying the Blue femur/Ometepe Island variant, I am reaching out to those in the know.

Yes, Ometepe Islamd variants are those with blue femurs.

Ometepe Island curly hair...

I recently came across a large uk based seller advertising a ‘new curly hair locality’ known as the ‘Ometepe Island curly hair’ for quite a price. Apparently this new locality has barely noticeable blue femurs. Even if it were a legitimate new locality I’m unsure as to who’d pay an extra £30-40...

Yes, Exoskeleton Invertebrates has been super helpful and insightful with respect to an Acantoscurria project of mine. Although the prospect a curly hair with femurs is cool, my interest is more about the locality.

I have a 3” female ometepe. But she ain’t cheap as you won’t find them for sale.

I had 10x slings I sold last year. They do have blue femurs as adults. The ones I purchased came from Europe. There was only 1 other vendor at the time that had a few for sale besides me. Not many people have them.

My friend, Jason (J-sikm) here on TF has one too.

That's funny and ironic, I was just thinking..... I was going to reach out, to some of the "tried & true", "real ones" and "main stays" I know in the hobby let alone on this forum..... the likes of Casey among a handful of others to see if they had any in their collections to sell or knew of others selling. Lol! Casey.... I'm a year late!
