How curly is my Curly? :)

[x_raphael_xx]

Hi all,
Can someone confirm my t.albopilosus?
Having compared pictures I assume mine is the Honduran/hobby form, rather the Nicaraguan/true form.
The true form seems curlier, mine’s hair seems straight.
Thank you!

It's definitely a T. albo. It could very well be Nicaraguan, it just looks young. (I'm assuming that's a standard bottle cap in the photo.) They get more fluffy as they get larger. My two 1/2" slings are essentially bald. Yours looks plenty fluffy for the age.

Oh that's interesting to know, she's about 6cm.
The pet shop just had her labled as 'curly hair'.

Is there any other way to distinguish the forms other than hair curlyness?

Adult nics seem to have a silver tinge on their carapace, with hondurans being more brown overall.

Thank you, I’ll keep a close eye on her as she grows

Don’t tell the others but she’s fast becoming one of my favourites

My Nic. Raised it from a sling. Unsexed as I don't really care. Cool guy either way.

I just got a Curly Hair from my friends and it's a sling, and right now it's hairs are straight like yours.I hope it turns into a cactus when it gets older!
