Hi there everyone

Hoping I can get a little advice. I came home yesterday about 5pm PST to find my GBB sling having it's first molt in my care ( I've had it for 2 weeks) - this has to be the fastest molt I have ever watched literally 20 minutes and it was done. I Haven't been able to remove the exo because I thought it was sitting on it which I have had T's do in the past so I thought leave it alone- when I woke up this am I noticed it was moving around the tank as normal webbing but dragging the entire exo behind it, there appears to be a tiny little bit still attached to it's abdomen at the very tail end ( Sorry no pictures I am at work) - This is a first for me in all my years of keeping T's. I am not sure if I should leave it alone for another few days to see if it works it's exo off on it's own Or if I need to intervene? Any advice would be extremely helpful. Thank you in advance
