Subject sums it up. Wondering because I mixed up my regalis and vittata slings a little while back. They're now about 2" and one has started to show white bands on the front legs which would seem to indicate vittata (i think, having a hard time finding an illustration or id chart with them. Edit: Nm...they're not white). The ventral leg id charts I've seen show regalis having yellow up front.
Also have a near-5" spider that I purchased as a rufilata that I'm being told is an ornata and based on the leg patterns along with carapace and folio I agree. But if leg colors/patterns change once they've shown up I dunno.
So yeah, stay the same as they grow or change? I found plenty of threads about when they start to show but haven't come up with one about this. Yet
