Thank you,I love that she is so fluffy,here's another pic of her I just took. The first pic is when she was freshly molted.initially I thought Nicaraguan but it Looks Honduran to me the B.Albopilosum comes in a 'hobby' form which is known as the Honduran these appear to be less curlythe 'True' curly haired Nicaraguan has more tight curls to the hair than I see here these hairs look more fluffy and straight
now I can see her butt clearly I think shes a Nicaraguan!thanks for posting this clearer pictureThank you,I love that she is so fluffy,here's another pic of her I just took. The first pic is when she was freshly molted.View attachment 39054
Thank you so much for your imput,how can you tell by looking at her butt?now I can see her butt clearly I think shes a Nicaraguan!thanks for posting this clearer picture
Ok,hopefully he sees this postit looks like the hair is more curly than I originally thought we need @Phil on this to clarify 100% gorgeous T though

your instincts serve you well young grasshopper. ha haNicaraguan.
Hopefully someone will confirm but I'm 75% sure
Pure blood tarantulas only, lmaoI’m joking but are you racist?

Yes she molted 2 weeks ago. I bought her a month ago and she was in premolt. I am feeding her more to fatten her up abit. When I got her she did drink alot of water before she molted. And she was confirmed femalenicuraguan/true form
edit. abdomen shape suggets a recent moult maybe? or needs fattening/hydrating. Is it sexed?
Ahem... that was my fault lol-I was wrong hands up!I hope I made you proud senpai
I would like to add I originally put 99.999% but doubted myself when others said Honduran so edited it to 75
Thank you so much for the information, I can definitely tell them apart from the photos you posted and mine looks just like the one one the left.The terms "true" and "hobby" are just part of the common names often attributed to distinguish between the Nicuraguan and Honduran forms respectively.
Honduran were for a long time the more common in the hobby hence "hobby" form.
I have attached a collage of AF for both Nicaraguan and Honduran for comparison.
As you can see, they are very different in appearance the nicuraguan have much more lighter hairs and a black skin underneath. the Honduran have less hairs, snd tend to have a more copper like colour to carapace.
It is inevitable at some stage that the 2 may have been "hybridised" in the hobby. If hybridisation of a species with the same scientific names is actually thing as they are both classified as Brachypelma albopilosum
