I KNEW SHE WAS GOING TO MOLT SOON :)

Im so excited! Really sucks i have to go to work in 2 hours though.. but hopefully i will come back home to a new pretty girl!

P.s There is a dead cricket in there, pretty much right beside her.. its dead so it can't bug her, should i try to carefully remove it, will a dead cricket cause her stress? (yes, dumb question)

What a shame that you're going to miss it. I'd leave the cricket as long as it's dead, it won't harm her and you'll cause more stress by trying to get hold of it.

Oh well, at least now she will have complete peace and quiet to do what she needs.

I kind of figured that taking it out would just be useless, it's dead so it can't do anything, thanks :D

A dead cricket isn't going to cause it stress. Trying to remove it may though. They're around dead animals all the time in the wild, I doubt they're going to let something like that inhibit them from molting [emoji14]

No I really didn't think it would bug her and digging inside would just be worse, i just figured I'd ask just in case, thanks :)

Thanks! it's so cute too cause most times now i look at her and she is laying flat with legs sprawled out, or she is waving her legs around, just adorable. Just makes me laugh and smile :p
