[QUOTE="Phil, post: 155468, member: 4151"] 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 [ATTACH=full]39070[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
