A few more :D
I started seeing some adult colors from mine last molt at about 1.5 inches. They started getting blue legs and the dark brown started turning coffee color. With this molt you can really see the adult colors coming out.
 
This was a few weeks after their last molt.

Here is how they looked with the sling colors.
 
They web a lot so there are a lot of tunnels and they do burrow. I see them out often especially when its feeding time. They will disappear for a while when it's close to molting time. This was the 1st time one of them molted outside the burrow/web tunnel.
 
@YagerManJennsen I have 2 slings. When I received mine at about 0.5" they were rarely out. They are a tricky species to know if they have eaten because they don't gain a lot of mass like Brachys do. They aren't fast growers, medium growth rate (faster than Brachys, less than GBB). It takes a fair amount of constant observation IMO to learn if their abdomen increases. Their abs are shaped like a tic tac really, not the more rounded Brachy. The larger they get the more bold they become regarding coming out. At 1.5" I see mine pretty frequently. They are incredibly fast, and IME, very, very sensitive to vibration/disturbances esp when less than 1.5". Also IME when spooked etc, they are unpredictable in terms of where they will go. I have observed them go straight up the container and would leave if there's no lid, OR they may go right for their tunnel/s. There's no consistency. In some ways to me at least, they are sort of like a Ceratogyrus on steroids re: speed and predictability.
