We have a beautiful girl who has molted at least three times with no issues; usually overnight. She’s about 3-4 years old I think ( she’s a rescue)I noticed she was preparing to molt several weeks ago, yesterday she had flipped at around 2pm. This morning the carapace is still not open and I can’t tell if she’s just taking a long while or she’s having trouble. Now I’ve noticed she’s flipped back upright and I see no break in the carapace-she’s still struggling (or appears to be)The cage is registering perfectly humid air and she is wiggling/walking a bit every 20 minutes or so. She was about 2.5 -3inches (not counting legs) before molt and always ate well. I’ve read I shouldn’t intervene until at least the carapace pops, what do you guys think ? How many hours does this part of molting last? We love Miss Cashmere and have never had any trouble with any of our T’s molting. When should I try to help? And CAN I help at this point? Thanks everyone..
