Loki, my T. Blondi has been in premolar for a few weeks. Tonight she flipped on her back, but has not moved AT ALL for five hours. She isn’t dehydrated and looks healthy. But she hasn’t started the molt. Just lying there on her back. I’ve never had this problem before. Because she was in pre molt I made sure her humidity is up there. This is probably her forth molt with me. How long before I should panic? Is there anything I can do to help her out?

I am not sure how long is too long. But some molts can happen really quickly & others will take hours. I know I have had T's on their backs for 12 hours plus.
WHOO-HOO! She is almost done! I’ve never had one take more than 3 hours so I kinda jumped the gun. She still took nine hours which feels soooo long to me. Thank you for the comfort.
