Hi
If it was me I won't get involved. Just wait it out.You are likely to do more harm than good if you intervene.
Regards Konstantin

Pretty much what I figured. Watching her now and she has nearly pushed from her molt.
I'll keep watching...not at all new to Ts, but they usually choose good spots
Thank you both!!

Thanks, everyone
She ended-up sliding the rest of the way down as she pushed, and I had to carefully remove the molt since she had nowhere to push it to.
Before that, as she first began sliding, the hide was forcing her abdomen over her carapace. She looked as though she was going to crack in half.
I have seen many molts (of course not as many as most of you), but never, ever saw anything as stressful as that.
This her first molt under my care (12/9/20). For almost a month she refused to eat, so I had been expecting it for some time.
Sorry about the crappy pic, but I was in a momentary bind, lol.
I checked on her at 5 this morning, expecting an extraordinarily sleepy T...only to find her back out into the open
After the first week I received her (thanks, Casey!), the only time she EVER goes into her hide, is apparently when she accidentally slips into it Otherwise, she's on 100% display.
I'm well aware how everyone asks for pics, so once my kiddo is off to school, I'll snap one of this wonderful A gen.
...and thanks for the responses! For all of my hardcore attitude, Ts have an ever-growing soft spot with me

As long as she's all good, I'm all good
