Keep a catch cup and a friend handy and you'll be fine.

Ours are about the same size...and while mine isn't aggressive (not yet anyhow), she is so darn fast! Her abdomen is already starting to fill out again, so I'm sure she won't be much behind yours for her next moult. I am definitely NOT looking forward to rehousing either hehe. I am set on getting her a big enough enclosure that I won't have to rehouse again. She's quick to jump on prey, so I don't have to really worry about her not finding it in a larger space.

I'm thinking mine will go from her smallish food storage, to a medium KK. shes got a couple moults to go in her container.
