Take some pics.

I don't know if you can flip it, I wouldn't flip it. There are plenty of accounts of Ts moulting on their stomaches.

The biggest issue is the moisture level between the old and new skin. As long as she had access to a drink of water in the past few days she should be okay.

Holy Turbo Molt!!! Less than an hour all told, everything seems fine. She ended up falling onto her side and when the legs cleared on the top, one shift of the exo was all it took for her legs to spring out in all directions. She's currently doing pilates. Big thanks to Travis for the call and the reassurance. Pics tomorrow!!!!

I think everyone on here worries about their babies.
But when people post 'urgent' or 'emergency' titles, attention is taken away from other possible more serious issues that could be addressed, or it belittles situations that do no need more help.

I can understand his want/need of information and to be reassured but it's not unheard for a T to molt on it's stomach.

Either way, it's good to hear it worked out.

Dont worry young sir, I wont tell you your post is stupid for saying emergency on it, because I chose to enter the thread and read it. I am glad your T. came out okay, I have had several T's molt on their stomachs, they usually end up semi flipping like yours did, a couple I sprayed some water inside to help with humidity because I was so nervous, one of them was looking like its leg was stuck so i rushed into the bathroom, closed the door ran the shower on HOT HOT water for a few minutes with the tank in the bathroom with me, got that thing humid very quickly, he came out perfect.

Right, because the word stupid was definitely used in my response.
Perhaps literacy would be appropriate here.

Well, it's my first big T to molt in my care, and I've done enough reading and research to know that this was a little unorthodox. I know that Ts do their own thing and all that..blah blah blah. I also know that this forum is a great wealth of information, and this is why I post my questions and concerns HERE. As it turns out, I rec'd private messages, emails and phonecalls that helped.

Please accept my sincere apology if this doesn't fit your criteria for an emergency but it was pretty damned important to me. If there is anyone out there that knows more about any given situation than I do, then I'll do everything I can to gain that knowledge. Forgive me that.....

There's no need to apologize.

Not really. But thanks for playing.

I just don't appreciate people putting words in my mouth. (I.e-Posting that I stated the post was 'stupid'...utterly untrue and insulting as a post.)

And Matt...seeing as how you posted a thread asking people for money...I wouldn't be one pulling out the insults at this time...

Don't you just love how everyone on here loves to speak for you? Put words in your mouth and jump down your throat quicker than a 2 dollar male escort
