EMERGENCY MOLT!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!

[BigTGirl93]

My Salmon Pink Birdeater just molted! I was actually setting up my new tank for my G. Rosa I just got today! But I last checked on her/him at 2:30pm today its now almost 9pm here and she/he is on her back still, not attach to old skin, not moving! What do I do?! Im going to try and upload pics. Is this normal??

You are good. This is normal. It will flip soon. Molting is difficult and takes a lot of energy. The legs should start flexing soon.

This is my first molt for any of my T's that I own, so I a new to this, but she is not moving her legs or anything at all, should I help her flip over? Move her into ICU? Is she dead?

I hope so I am going to put up pics as soon as my service cooperates. It just makes me extremely nervous!!! Ugh, this is my little baby, the number one T I wanted!

SHE TURNED OVER YAY SHE IS OKAY!!!!!!

It takes some time. The good news is that the little one is out. It is just resting. They take some time to recuperate. It will flip soon.

Good! Just leave her be. She'll be out of sorts for a few days. I kinda like to think they feel hung over.

Wait a week or so before you feed her. Her fangs should look dark when she's ready. Make sure she has water in her bowl and give her some time.

Congratulations on your first moult im glad you got to see it. It is scarey when theu dont get up for a while but it is exhausting for them. My red knee " Hercules" always lounges about for most of the day when he moults but he is bone idle.

Brilliant I got another rosie last week, she looks pinker than some of my others pretty little thing. I keep buying rosies cos I want another one like Money and Keep buying red knees cos I want another one like Hercules. I should just accept that they are too unique to be copied!
I know lp's grow quickly but thats a big increse what do you feed them?
