She appeared to be starting this morning ... at an angle, almost on her side though not on her back. With  her right legs slowly moving and stretching out. So I left her to it and went to work. Its now 15 hours later, still hasn't molted and shes in pretty much the same position except no movement but 2 of her legs are kind of up in the air.Am I stressing out for no reason?I think because last time I wasnt around so don't know how long it took her, as I was gone for 4 nights.Think I just need reasurance or something... helpm</blockquote>
