Post a picture of the enclosure she's in,maybe there's not enough cover for her,maybe there's not enough substrate?
There's a good few things that can cause this :coffee:
Usually with my slings I'd keep them at a slightly higher humidity,to help with molting and what not.For example my gbb sling was kept at 55-65% humidity,as a sling,he's now kept at 40-50% being a juvenile at this point,slightly higher temps also work well for slings,raising metabolism,growth...
Measurement,from my knowledge would be from as you said ,tip of front leg to tip of back leg,with legs expanded,at full length,so my G.rosea (chillie rose),would be 4" at resting size,whereas at full leg span 5.5"
Hope this helps :coffee:
Females,with the proper care can live up to 20-25 years,even 30 in some cases,it's still some what undetermined what the average lifespan is due to the fact that they only really became popular back in the early 90's after the Chilean dictator fell and the borders were opened to eager...
I think it's just different personalities that Ts have,for,instance,my obt mature male has always been docile,very quick but has never once thrown up a threat pose,and also some slings tend to be very skittish as young I can wear off as they get bigger or it doesn't in the case of my...

How old is your oldest T?,and who has the OLDEST T?,I've heard of ones on the 20 mark but never heard of anything over that,Mine is probably around 4-5years-grammostola rosea
I've read on a few articles that they are the same species just different colour form,bt then again on some spider shops on the Internet they label them separately?

I believe they are the same species but just for clarification
It's best to just leave it in there,If you go in and start messin up its den it'll only cause stress to it,and if its a baby like you said I'd wait about 6-7 days after it molted to start feeding it again,just to be safe.The tank should be 4-5 x the length of te spider ,3-4x width and 3x the...
