My male was 2-3" smaller than the female and he didn't have any problem mating.

i await your measurment, mine has grown over an inch in disc width(just under 4" to 5 1/4" now)...

i know it is not neer mature yet, but his claspers are more noticable out the back...

Clasper length can be misleading. The most accurate way to tell is to see if the claspers are rolled yet. If they are not mature, they look like round stubby things. When they mature, it looks like a rolled up burito like thing with a tunnel in the middle.

it is more so the thickness then the length of the clasper to tell maturity...
