Enough room for molting?

I just thought about it because it's abdomen is quite large, I was curious if there is any room for it to do its thing in this enclosure, or would it build a web for it to molt on, or do I need to rearrange something. Thanks!

Only reason I say that is because there isn't much ground space. Definitely not enough for it to lay on its back I wouldn't think
Arboreal Ts don't usually moult on the ground. They'll build a web hammock and moult up high. ;)
So, yes, there's most definitely enough space!

Definitely plenty of space there. My versi slings don’t web much and build their molt hammocks last minute. Once they got to 1.5” they started to really build web tubes...weirdos.

Yeah, they can successfully moult in surprisingly small spaces.

Aviculariinae generally don't moult on the ground, they moult in elevated web tubes that they construct prior to moulting.

Lots of room! My one pokie molted and made the hammock last minute. It was up in a corner. It was pretty funny looking. I love arboreal molts.

It’s arboreal- what’s your point?
My original question gave a couple options, would it do it on the ground, web something for it to do it up high, or should I rearrange. I was basically restating for clarification because that part wasn't answered. If he used the ground there definitely wasn't much room. But thanks! Wasnt sure about their molting behavior and couldn't think of good wording to Google.
