[QUOTE="kormath, post: 71904, member: 4199"] Agree with [USER=4086]@MassExodus[/USER] give it 3 or 4 days to recover. Remove the exo anytime you can get it without disturbing the sling. We keep all of our molts for my son's tarantula research project so he can document sizes and growth rates. My 1/4" slings molt about every 5 or 6 weeks, i'm waiting on my G. pulchripes to molt now :) Size increase depends on on lots of things, feeding, humidity, etc. Some of my slings grew 1/4" some doubled in size. Check the fangs, when they're solid black they can be fed. After a molt the fangs will be white, then change to reddish colors and then to black. Once black you can feed them, etc. The time it takes for the fangs to turn black depends on size, tiny slings can be ready to feed in 3 days, large T's may take 4 or 5 weeks i'm told. I don't have any that large yet ;) [/QUOTE]
