How to retrieve previous molt from inside a tarantula's burrow?

[gabrieldezzi]

So, this has yet to happen, but due to my new OBT sling's very reclusive nature (the point where I may not see him for a few days). I'm worried that eventually when he is ready to molt, he will molt inside his burrow. I mostly, for now since he is so small want to remove the excess molt, so he has more space to move around in his burrow; but in the future when I want to get the molt sexed, and if he unfortunately molts inside the burrow, how do you suppose I remove the molt without destroying my T's hard work or potentially unnecessarily stressing the spider?

Carefully.

Do it after a rehouse.

This is the correct answer. If it needs more room,.it'll make it. They kick their molts out of their burrows half the time anyways.

If it's anything like one of my OBTs you'll never get the molt.

I got one that is super reclusive and defensive, it always molts in the burrow and if I try to get it, it goes into attack mode and starts grabbing the tongs.

If I leave it alone, it has not failed to destroy every molt. Maybe you'll get lucky one day if it forgets

you just leave it alone and do nothing the it wil toss it out when it feels like it. or it will just web it up to become a decoration inside its burrow
