I got the cage nice and moist, to soften the skin, as it has been spending a lot of time in its burrow post-molt. When it was above ground, I tried to use my forceps to grab the skin, but it is stuck on pretty good. I didn’t want to risk pulling off its spinnerette. Should I just let it come off on its own? Will it come off with the next molt? It isn’t stopping it from eating or moving around, so I’m leaning towards just leaving it be.</blockquote>
