G. Rosea Molt

[Ian Spackman]

My G. Rosea just began her molt, but this time she is doing it within her hide (One of those half logs that you find at every pet store) and I'm worried she won't have enough room within the hide. She has some space, but not excessively. Should I just leave her be or attempt to pull the log away. I figured I would just wait and see, but I thought I would ask the forums. I attached a photo for reference.

Thanks guys!

That's enough room for her to molt just leave her to it and don't move anything the worst thing you can do when a T is molting is to interfere with the process it could end up being fatal for the T...

Left her as she was and she was able to successfully molt! Gotta love those fresh colors! Always an awesome thing to witness! Thank you for the response!

Agree with above

My Rosie is molting too, my first tarantula and my first time witnessing a molt. She has a large half log too and I removed it. She was not too upset by it and seems to be coming along. I can see that her legs have become very thin and the carapace is loose. Her legs are slowly moving and she seems to be pushing off her old skin. I am taking photos as she goes along.
