Wait a minute. Are we including legs in the measurements when were talking about size here? I think i misunderstood some of you. My opinion remains unchanged though.

Spiders are normally measured with legs at a resting "normal" pose. So when measuring in inches that's total length with legs.

My argument is still just that a sling can be discouraging to a beginner. You really have to know what your doing to keep a sling alive. I know I would be disappointed if I was a beginner and my new pet passed away and I didn't really understand why. It just makes more sense to me for a beginner to get a sub adult.
It all comes down to what the OP chooses and maybe more research is needed for them to make an informed decision.
whatever you get just make sure your comfortable with the new pet spider and that it is getting the proper care. I look forward to seeing a post in the future from you titled my new spider!
