[QUOTE="Enn49, post: 111210, member: 3458"] It wouldn't have affected him. I have a mature male T. gigas that I had intended moving to a larger container when he moulted and matured and I decided not to stress him by moving him and left him in the home he'd made his own, 9 months on he's doing fine. Females tend to be larger than males, in some cases quite a lot of difference. My mature male P. irminia is only around the 5" mark too. I've been caught out before by the small size that males mature at. I have 2 L. parahybanas that were bought at the same time and both the same size, one is now a mature male and nowhere near the 8-10" that they are supposed to reach whereas the other is barely 5" and hasn't moulted for 18 months so guessing female.
