Borneo Black exuvium?

I recently moved my Borneo Black sling into a larger enclosure. She has made a burrow and comes out about once every 24 hours. I haven't seen her for multiple days, and then last night she came out to feed. I think she has molted. She looks bigger then before, and she seems brighter. If she did molt in her burrow, will she pull out the exuvium? I don't want to destroy her burrow, but I also don't want to let the molt get moldy. Thank you!

Well, good news! Last night I found the shredded molt near one of the access holes of her burrow!! I'm not sure when the Borneo Black start to develop their black color as a female, or gold color as a male, but my sling looks pretty black!!! That's good news for me! Her name is Pemburu, and I expect that she will live up to her name tonight when I feed her next. (Pemburu is Malay for "hunter").

Well that's good news. I don't own this species but I have had to pull out molts from tunnels with tongs. Can be a little nerve racking sometimes if their close by and possibly unfriendly. I like the name by the way.
