First molt question

[ChazJ]

After my B. Smithi molted, I noticed she still has some..skin let on her abdomen from her first molt. I was wondering if this can pose any potential danger to her health at all, or if I should just let it stay if it'll fall off after she hardens.

How long ago is it since she molted? A picture would be nice too.

This won't be any danger to your tarantula at all

She molted the 30th or 31st. I was at my cousins. I knew she was going to molt, she'd been rejecting food for 2 weeks.

I'll definitely post a pic when I can get a good picture of her.

How big is the piece of skin? If it's big i guess it could cause problems because molt's usually attract mold.

Just leave it alone. If it's still attached in a week then you can try and remove it. But if it's only been 48 hours.. do nothing.

I've been wanting to try & remove it, but I'm scared I might hurt her, & the fact she's a juvenile, idk if I can harm her attempting to do it since she seems to run away every time I open the tote & touch her w/ the tweezers I use to get her crickets to try & remove it.

Dont use tweezers, use a damp que tip and lightly brush at it. If it doesn't come off I'd leave it. You could always take a picture like cobalt said and let us see what it really looks like.

Thank you for all your guys info! I was actually getting ready to take a picture of it a few days ago (I've been busy as of late) & she got it off herself somehow! I do appreciate all the tips incase it happens her next molt.
