A rather unspectacular photo of my G.rosea mature male, not helped by the resizing/compression process

Those are nice pics.
But IMO i would put a little more substrate in. You Rosea shouldn't have that much climbing space. If she climbs to the top, there are high chances that she could fall and injure her abdomen (they are not arboreal). I think that the correct rule for terrariums is the height should be twice there body lenght and the walking area should be three times the body lenght.

cool pics! i love watching molts..have been lucky enough to catch a handful of them, but i've yet to see the t actually roll over onto its back. great sequence too...rosies look awesome after a molt! oh yea..and if you didn't already know it was a female before the molt, congrats on that too :D
