You just will have a smaller spood in a big house! And all the issues that go along with such! Where is the spider?? Did the spider eat?? I have a tiny sling King Baboon that almost got re-housed as the enclosure ( Tarantula Cribs small cuboid) was too big! But decided to let him/her stay! Was a bit of a pain to locate ( still is but not bad) at times but that said I am so glad I did! Little joker has 2 burrows dug at either end of the enclosure. One on the super damp side and one on the drier side. Has a tunnel under the cork bark and spaghnum moss separate from the burrows and he uses the whole thing one end to the other! Glad I left him there now and no rehouses for a good spell! All that said if you want to wait I would guess a roundabout 3 molts but there are just too many variables with the timeframe of how long that will take. Supposed to be a fairly quick growing species from what I remember. I guess the whole point is you can put a smaller spider in a big enclosure but there can be drawbacks! It's your spider at the end of the day and you can put it anywhere you want it to go! Up to and including letting it run wild about the house...lol! Just kidding !    PS. Dig the nail polish!!! Lol!</p></blockquote><p></p>
