YAAAAA!!!! Finally my B.Smithi flipped this morning!!
Last night it was pretty active it was flicking hairs like crazee for no reason...well I am sure there was a reason but it was unprovoked. So a couple of pics to start the Molt off...

Ok so he is just laying on his back now with his legs under him I dont think it pushed the abdomom off due to the back of the hide should I be concerned?

Just leave him be. It takes quite a bit of time. I've seen other species molt in little tiny tube webs. So give it time. :D

There is a timelapse video of a molt that took over 8 hours...someone compressed it down to like 4 minutes. But still, it takes a while. Relax, read a book, and look in on him later tonight or tomorrow. :D
