Hello! My sling just molted this morning, and I’m wondering what I should do as their molt is attached slightly to their rump by their spinerettes. Do I wait longer or help out with some warm water on a Q-Tip? Thanks!

Personally I'd act now if your T is the right way up. Use a moist Q-Tip or soft brush to moisten the area attached then hold the moult with tweezers and hope fully the T will walk away leaving the moult behind.
