That’s regular just water the mouth of the burrow . When I did it directly on the spider it freaked out and abandoned its burrow.He/She has not left their borrow for over a month. He/She might be molting, any advice.
Leave it be, it'll come out when it's ready...He/She has not left their borrow for over a month. He/She might be molting, any advice.
How big is it? If it's just a little sling you might want to change things up. If it's a juvenile or adult, it's nothing to be concerned about - my Aphonopelma moderatum have been in their burrows consistently since late August. The US species of the genus tend to be very inactive this time of year, even in captivity.He/She has not left their borrow for over a month. He/She might be molting, any advice.

You should post a pic of the enclosure. A 1" sling shouldn't be able to bury itself completely for just this reason - they can get dehydrated and desiccated much more easily than larger specimens, so while you don't need to worry about larger ones disappearing for a while, small slings should be housed in such a way as to prevent that... For example:it is a 1" sling
This might change things a little, I am glad @NMT asked but I agree pictures are necessary, and then I'd probably echo @Ultum4Spiderz advice.... But pictures are imperative. Example, your sling could be buried in already too damp substrate, and then we'd be giving bad suggestions. Another example, you're doing everything perfect but the enclosure is too big.it is a 1" sling
