My female adult G. Rosea made herself what I call a molting dome ( she has a pottery bowl half burried in coco fibre that she has completely webbed herself into) I can't see her and it's worrying me because she's been in there for about 4 month straight. Last time she molted she did the same thing but only stayed in there for like two weeks. I can sorta see into the corner of the webbing and I can tell she has moulted but worried about her water. I've misted the corner of her cage opposite to the side shes in about three times a day when I mist my P. Iriminia. Is this normal? And if not what can I do? I'm very worried about her 2 other tarantulas of mine molted about the same time And are out and eating.

Just keep her water dish filled, I don't think you'd have to mist 3 times a day. :?
Sounds like normal post-molt behavior to me, my G. pulchra burried himself into his hide a few months ago and didn't come out for 5-6 weeks at 1.5", got worried and dug him out. :wall: He's fine now, always in view.
How big is the spider?

If she doesn't smell bad, then she's likely not dead. Just leave her be. She'll come out when she wants to come out.
Don't need to mist, either. Just keep the water dish full, like others have said.
