I have a 3" specimen I just got, unsexed. I know that they tend to max out at around 4". At what size would you consider a female mature? At what size do males typically have their ultimate molt?

Following. I know E.murinus and E.cyanognathus males matured insanely small, the first with a legspan of around 10cm, and the last with a legspan of around 7cm. Ridiculous really, they weren't even juvies yet in my eyes!

I have a funny feeling that Loki (my E. cyanognathus male) will hook out with his next moult, he's not much over 3" at the moment.

Update: The tarantula in question molted and is definitely a mature female.
