How long Ts stay barricaded for a molt?

[Ultum4Spiderz]

Edited ; just going to wait and see what happens
Because the answer is unknown ..
Do I need to water the burrow I already added a little bit but not much?
So far I’ve done as little as possible to not disturb it . I’ve had burrowers before just been a while.

As long as they want

no problem giving it all the time it wants !
yeah I more so wanted to know other people experiences with this happening. I already know not to dig it out or anything silly like that ..

Wait and see experiment

Many ask / question this: When tarantulas seal the burrow, and have no access to food and water, how long should you wait? While general answer would be, just leave it be, but honestly, it really is not a simple question to answer because, to answer it, would require some contexts. Such as...

Being a long time member, and being knowledgeable is not relevant.

It’s all about how observant you are, that’s all.

Learning something new is not surprising thing, and it’s a good thing.

Yeah and if I had not allowed my g porteri to burrow I might have it still. I’m more concerned about keeping it hydrated down there . Which I did for the rose hair also but I guess sometimes you can do everything correctly and still have a bad molt. Think of this question more so as a survey, which you failed to answer. Why so serious ?
Some keepers don’t even allow them to burrow.

yeah more is I’m trying to learn more about them and there behavior . I’ve had obligatory burrowers before , but that was a while ago and don’t recal them sealing the burrow often. And I’ve not had an lp do this past 4”. Just felt I could had did better when my rose hair burrowed and had a bad stuck molt rip , I did make sure it had water .

Months, easily. Leave the tarantula alone... it'll come out when it's ready.

You spend this much time on this board for this many years and haven't seen the same question asked five hundred times? You're getting the same answers as everyone else who asks: nobody knows!

I just had an adult Chilobrachys female close herself off for two months, and didn't even molt. They do what they want.

Yeah my bad I added this to the first post because I realized I asked a question and it has no answer ..
and the spider Knows what it’s doing .
if anything I need more patience, imo I could care less when it comes out just hope it doesn’t have a bad molt.

Going on 2.5 weeks now or so since the borrow was closed. Let the waiting game continue;

My adult spider's can be hid for months at a time. I've got a c.fumosas that's been buried going over a month and I fully expect her to remain there maybe another month and a half.
She always does when going to molt and she's not the only adult spider I have that will go in a long really long molting.

I keep the water dish full and wait.

yes the burrow collapsed I think I need a different substrate mixture to hold a burrow better it shouldn’t had collapsed so easily. Right now it’s 50/50 coco fiber / top soil. I re dug the entrance out but the t seems to have no interest in going back in atm. Got one pic prior to the collapse there wasn’t enough deep sub ontop it got super dried out .

update the burrow collapsed the t molted and never dug again. Must had just been pre molt Behavior??
