P striata male just molted

Here he is. I haven't even pulled out the old skin yet. Believe it or not, he's the calmest most well behaved tarantula I own. Hopefully when he matures, I can find a breeder that can use him.
I think he's either 3" or pretty darn close. I don't think there's any tibial hooks or bulbous pedipalps yet. I'm still trying to research what the actual adult size really is.
 
He's in an 8x8x4 tall enclosure. It might be a bit of a tight fit if he's getting 6+ inches in size. Still, since he's always vertical it's not that tight for now. I'm sure he'd do just fine in an ExoTerra nano however...

I'm not sure where I'd put that cage. I was under the impression that the males were much smaller then the females.

We'll see.
