Hey guys,I have had my T for a few months now and on 06/12/2013 it has decided to go into its hide and build somewhat of a wall/barrier...i assume from what i have read on the net as i am new to the hobby that he is most likely molting but a friend of mine said that his all molt in the open and are done in a few hours...kinda worried as dont want to disturb it as may disturb its molt and be harmful or fatal....What do i do? :S PLEASE HELP!!!

Some Ts molt in the open, others will hide. Just leave your T be and it will come out when it's good and ready.
