Rightside up molting

[x_raphael_xx]

Just doing my watering rounds and I’ve discovered my b.albiceps mid-molt, but right side up!
Has anyone experienced this before? So far he seems to be doing okay, and has his fangs out. Fingers crossed his legs will follow okay. All I can do is watch and hope.
I haven’t flipped him for fear of making things even worse.

I hope all goes well. We had one of our T's do this last year & all went well for that.

Hes rolled onto his side now, and his legs are half out. So I’m more hopeful. Sorry for the rubbish pics, trying not to disturb him

I've had a couple moult upright without any issue including a 17 year old who you'd think would know better.

Hes out!! I admit I did pull the molt away as one of his back paws was still stuck down the leg hole and I didn’t want it to harden in a weird angle.
I can go to bed with relief now!

I had a T. albopilosus do that a few times. All upright molts were successful. It’s uncommon, yet seems normal.

This would be understandable if you were on opposite end of the world. LOL

Your tarantula is fine.
