Hi,
My G. Pulchra has got into a molt position yesterday and this morning it's still the same. It seems like a long time definitely more than 12h. Should I assume the worst? Is there anything I can do? She is still fully inside.
Thanks for your help.

You don't say how big your T is but the bigger they are the longer the moult process can take.

Thanks. I just didn't realise they can lay there on their backs for a long time before actually starting the molting process. No matter how many spiderlings I raise and how long I have been in the hobby, molting always gets me nervous.

Don't keep us in suspense, did she molt? :)
