Piece of molt stuck on a sling

[Lelielu]

Hello everyone!
I would like to get some advice. My sling molted about two days ago and there is still a little piece of molt stuck on the top of its abdomen. It doesnt seem too bothered by it, so is it OK to leave it be ? I've read that you can use a damp q-tip to try and get it off, but if I try to open the enclosure my sling goes into its hiding spot in the ground and I can't really do it. It's still very small and fragile so I dont want to bother it too much. Can it stay there till next time my sling molts ? I can try to take a picture of it if its needed, but it could be hard to see on camera.

Yes the sling will be fine and will go away the next time she/he molts

Thank you for responding! Alright, I will try not to worry about it then!

It's happened to me a few times. It'll work it's way off or come off with the next molt.

Your welcome....alot of times people over stress about what we consider abnormal....but we forget it's normal for them in their natural habitat

As long as the molt isn't obstructing the spider's anus, it should be fine. Trying to remove the molt on such a small sling would probably kill it.
