[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 152604, member: 4086"] Anything listed as 1/4" to 2" I consider a sling. 1/4" is tiny, the measurement is dls or diagonal leg span. So a 1/4" sling is the width of your pinky nail from tip of leg to tip of leg, diagonally across the spider. Its body will be much smaller. So at two inches dls, its two inches of leg span, its still a small tarantula. If I understood your question correctly. I remember when I was a noob and all the spiders I ordered were much smaller than I had imagined when they arrived. Used to piss me off to no end ;) [/QUOTE]
