Great T, Theraphosa sp. are the quintessence of T's for me, but my wallet hates those 
I am a big fan of them as well, their sheer size as well as the challenges that come along with them are what attract me to them. Some people are scared off by how demanding they can be at times but I actually enjoy attempting to get everything just right.

Yes Warren is not far at all, I ordered her from Stamps Tarantulas.
Although I have not been able to measure her or one of her molts myself I have held the tape measure up to the tank and she appears to be a little closer to 4 1/2". Was advertised as 4" though

Holding the tape measure up is viable as long as you squint for the record

How are you keeping it?
I've got her in a 10g aquarium with eco earth subatrate. The substrate is at a slight slope, the left hand side is about 6 inches deep and the right is just under five. Her hide is half a flower pot which is on the high side and her water bowl is on the low side.

Temp in tank is about 82 during the day and 78 at night. And I'm making a plexiglass top to replace the screen top that is on there.
