The enclosure on the left has a 1.5" spider in it...anything that size or a little bigger would be fine.

Is there a difference between the hondurans and the nicaraguans?
I am seeing both.

Care wise no...appearance yes. If you dont know you may have to wait till it gets much bigger to determine unless you can locate the breeder.

The breeder has it listed as a honduran (Tliltocatl albopilosum).

Yes, I knew what it was, but I wasn't sure if there was a difference.
Thank you for the help!

Thank you!
To my untrained eye it almost looks like the honduran has a darker base color.

Honduran has less curly hairs on the legs...and no curlies on the abdomen.

Hmm... maybe I should hold out for a Nicaraguan instead as my girlfriend thinks all the hair is cute. Hard enough to get her to agree to another tarantula as it is.

Really only have room for one more creature at this time. A breeder friend sent us a special needs bearded dragon. Has only one eye.

That is one thing I will not be doing if you are suggesting what I think your suggesting... I won't be breeding them.

Was reading and older thread on which is it curly hair edition and someone mentioned that most of what's out there is nicaraguan as that is what most want anyway.
So I asked the breeder if there was a chance this was a nicaraguan and his response was: Most likely is, but I can't guarantee it.
So, I guess there is a chance. Lol

Not a good response from a reputable breeder.

It's someone I found on Kingsnake.com. Just did a quick search on here and he is listed here as well in a couple threads with all good reviews from what I could see on my quick glance.
