My A. Genic molted while we were asleep last night and I'm freaking out!! she's out of her molt and I can see her moving about slowly. This is my first ever molting experience with a tarantula. Any advice would be great! I already know not to disturb, not to feed and to keep the water filled. But is there anything else I should know/look out for?

I love A. genics! Please let her be but do monitor the humidity around her enclosure for a couple of days and try to maintain it in the high side. Good luck!

If she made it out of the moult then the worst is probably over and u now have a bigger T! Though I've had smaller Ts pass away after a moult ,for what looks like no reason at all, the worst is over and now its time to enjoy that A Genic feeding response!! In a few days of course

She is perfectly fine. I'm not sure what she's doing with the molt. It's been pushed into a corner. But all 8 legs, pedipalps and fangs are all intact! So glad for that. Now I'm just waiting for her to harden up because she needs to be rehoused now.
