Caribena Versicolor Molt Question

So I was not aware that my Caribena versicolor was in pre-molt when I recently purchased it.

I woke up this morning and checked on my T's. I do this every morning. I was amazed that my little buddy molted in the middle of the night.

So I have no experience with arboreals. This is my question:

1. Will it discard it's molt from it's webbing or keep it in there with him/her until I remove it?

He/she was going to be rehoused today as my shipment of enclosures arrives today. Now I have to wait until it hardens up. Below is a photo, not the best I know.

Wait a week to re-home

They often web over their molts, sometimes they eject them. It's no issue to the spider.

Ok thanks man :)
I wait 7 days with my terrestrials after a molt so the same for arboreals is true too. I can't get a good measurement right now but will when I rehouse. I'm excited this was an unexpected bonus so soon.
