Ok well I just took first pics of recently molted T at 2.5" that was sold as B. smithi as a 1/2" sling. Now that I'm comparing it, it looks like a B. boehmi!

Let me know what you think.



Thanks

There is no black on the legs, with large area of light color on head...

I've raised both species from sling. This looks just like the B smithi juvies in my collection and nothing like my B boehmei specimens

Boehmei coloring shows brighter and earlier than smithi coloring does. At one inch there is no mistaking a boehmei's fire red legs.

Yup, a Smithi . Give it a molt or two and you'll have a big smile on your face.
