Nice How big is she?
 
With tail uncurled, from head to tail, about 2.5". Wonder how massive she'll be after her final molt, she already seems a bit cramped in her 32oz. container. I'm power feeding her, need her to molt quick before the male dies.
 
need her to molt quick before the male dies.

Warm her up! They grow/mature faster when it's warmer.

Though, in souther Cali, you probably don't have to worry about that....It's just the New Yorker in me talking...
 
Yeah, I got her in my bug room which gets quite warm, got the male downstairs which is a lot cooler.
