[QUOTE="Casey K., post: 129189, member: 1090"] It depends on the species, really and the average adult size. Example: you wouldn't call a 2" T. STIRMI a juvenile because they get so big. At that stage it would be a sling, even though other species at 2" would be considered juvies (C. cyaneopubescens for example). Another good example would be Hapalopus sp. Columbia "large". Most would think at 1" it would still be considered a sling because it's so small but with adults averaging 3" in leg span, it is actually a young juvenile. :) Hope this helps out. A good friend of mine [USER=7949]@sdsnybny[/USER] also considers them juvies once they start showing adult colors. :) It all depends on the species and whether or not they are considered a "dwarf" tarantula. That plays a major role in determining the size differences of slings and juvies. [/QUOTE]
