Hi all not been on here for a while but was wondering how long should it take for a tarantula to molt as my t stirmi has been on her back now for almost 12 hours with no signs of movement and getting slightly worried if she has passed or not

For larger tarantulas it could take an entire day or so.

Thanks for your reply this is the longest molt I have had with a tarantula she is around 5 inches
I just went through this with my T Blondi. She took nine hours but after five I was stressing out. Raise humidity maybe? A steamy warm bathroom can do wonders!
