Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fuzzball79" data-source="post: 64669" data-attributes="member: 3190">It can sometimes take quite a while, my subadult A. Geniculata was on her back for at least an hour, probably more, because I only found her like that in the morning. She'll be resting now and as long as you can see her move occasionally, I'd wait. To disturb her in her fragile post molt state could do more harm than good.I'm waiting for my B. Boehmei to molt. His bottom his fat, shiny and blueish black and he's less active than usual. I also think my Amazonica could be in premolt again, as it has started scooting around its tub again and although it killed the cricket I tried to feed it, it just dropped it and left it which is unlike it. It only molted a couple of weeks back, but it could still take about 2-3 weeks anyway. It seems to have quite long premolts compared to my other slings (minus the Boehmei, he takes ages). Suits me, I'll be more relaxed once it's out of the small sling stage.</blockquote>
