Finally he's molted! He hasn't molted for over 3 years but I've fed him much and often. He is so beautiful (Red Morph). Check out the pics. I have a crappy camera but you can get the picture good enough. Before his molt I measured him to be 6". Does anyone have a guess to how big he is now? I bet he is a MM.

I agree, I have a male that hooked out at about 3" in two years.

I have never heard of a 6" male rosie, plus looking at your pics (albeit rough pics:eek: ) I don't see any indication of a mature male.

I agree it could be female. I would check them olt again and even post a pic to verify as you could of just not seen the spermathcae last molt. If a species only gets to about 6", most likely a male will be smaller, if it reached 6" it would seem it was mature last molt and just luckly molted again, but if the molt was post ultamate, you probably would of seen hooks.
