I've been thinking about these for well over a year or more. Pricey little guys. I've read they reach 4", the largest of the genus, Not exactly dwarf hah

We'll see... This one is still small, probably around 0.75" after the last molt, but I never see it anymore - up until the first time it molted in my care it was always out and about, but since then it has been reclusive. Still eats well. I'm hoping that it'll spend more time in the open as it gets bigger!

Yes, it's grown quite a bit since I first got it - back in May it was just under 3/4" DLS, last time it molted it was about 1.25". Here's a pic of it just before the last time it molted in August:
I haven't seen this sling out in full in several months and I was shocked at how much size it...
It has spent most of the time out in the open since the last molt, and it seems to be close to another molt. The first 3 molt cycles it had were in the 32-35 day range, and we're on day 60 of the current cycle. We'll see what kind of size gain it has this time!
I dont know if this is an OK place to ask this but I can't find any answers anywhere on Google and I can't find a super proper place to ask this.. so what is the difference between hapalopus sp. Guerilla and hapalopus sp Columbia? Is it just that h.guerilla is supposed to be bigger?

No problem asking here. First, Hapalopus sp. Colombia is now Hapalopus formosus. Both are found in Colombia. H. sp. guerilla is very similar as far as behavior and care are concerned, but definitely has different markings. The guerilla is supposed to get larger, but they still max out at around 4", so not a large species. Also, the H. formosus has a relatively small carapace and big abdomen, and the guerilla has a larger carapace relative to the abdomen. These pics show the difference in build, markings & coloration:
