My T. Albopilosus Curly has been barricaded in her hide since February 18th, and has made a web mat so I assumed she was fixing to molt. This morning I get up to go check on her and she is on the side of her tank, behind her hide so I thought "Oh yay my baby finally molted" but no molt. Is she okay? Should I try to feed her since she hasn't molted yet, even a pre-killed insect? Or does she still think she's in hiding because she's still behind her hide? I just want to make sure she's going to be okay and have a successful molt. I haven't messed with her since she barricaded. I've just made sure her water bowl was full, and overflow it a little once a week. And I've peeked behind her tank every now and then to make sure she's okay in her hide.
