So my B.Vagans is really close to molting me thinks, and i'm getting very impatient is there a way to shame her into molting? make her feel self conscience about her old skin or something? lol
this is how she looked last Saturday when I brought her home.......

she cannot possibly be comfortable. the deli cups aren't big enough to allow a burrow, I bought her a critter keeper I plan to move her to a week after she molts or, do you guys think she would be more comfortable molting in a new place?

Do you have other Ts? I think one of the things I like about having several is that I don't have to get impatient waiting for one to molt as there are always others to observe and feed. :)

I agree completely with MatthewM1; let it molt in peace and don't bother rehousing until after it has molted and hardened up.
