Description

A hobby staple, Tliltocatl albopilosus (ex. Brachypelma albopilosum) is hardy, fast growing, long-lived, and beautiful. Its unique appearance is attributable to the combination of curly hairs, shiny carapace and shades of dark brown to black in the legs and abdomen. Hardiness and calm temperament make it the ideal tarantula for those new to keeping.

Originally described from Costa Rican specimens, hobby specimens are collected further north, typically Honduras and more recently, Nicaragua (after 2105). Some dispute whether the originally described Costa Rican species is the same as those found further north. Others claim differences between specimens from Honduras versus Nicaragua. It’s unlikely any specimens available today are anything but Nicaraguan in origin.
