A. Minatrix molting sideways

My A. Minatrix I got last week is molting. It had hardly webbed at all and decided to molt on the side of a fake flower by the wall of the container. It has one leg fully out. Hopefully it molts fine, its in a really awkward position between the flower and plastic and doesnt seem to have much room.
One of my A. geniculata itty bitties (under a half inch) molted on its side. My gf was taking pictures of the whole process and had to get part of the molt off its abdomen. Other than that it came out like a pro :p Hopefully yours is well now :)
 
@Goodlukwitthat sadly this guy had a very bad molt. I made a thread about it if youd like to read it in the tarantula discussion/questions. He lost both pedipals, 4 legs, and one leg is still stuck with the molt on it, and 2 of the legs are mangled from hardening in the molt. It has one good leg, and its fangs and body came out fine. Im not expecting much, but if he does make it Im going to baby it until it molts again.
