Should I swap?

I got my Pissy in a 19x12 and she moulted once here already. And I'm wondering if it's too small for her. Don't mind the random mess. It looked proper before and it had proper hide. Now it doesn't. I can swap her to 19x19x12 box.
She is quite big already when she was stretching after moult she could touch front and back legs of the box.
I just don't want to push her into new enclosures for no reason. It just looks almost too small for her.

I would move it to its forever home at that size, definitely needs more room now. Doesn't look likere is enough head room in there for it's next moult and could cause problems. For terrestrial species like that aim to have at least 1.5x DLS head space and no more that 2x the DLS. Other than that T's looking great.

So I should just buy 30x30x20 glass now? Didn't expect her to grow so fast haha

I think that looks great! If any critique, I would just add a little more sub. Otherwise, looks really nice. Great job.
I don't know how to edit my own message. But you mean more sub everywhere? Because I don't want it to be spilling from the glass. And knowing her she will move stuff around. I don't want her to not have space at all when she grows bigger hence the deep tunnel and lower back sub. I dunno will anything bad happen? I was thinking of her falling but it doesn't look like she will die from fall anywhere here. I would have to observe if she even climbs or not. For now she got 3 roaches since she went in without problem. She sits there and chomps.
