my babeeey molted, it's in their little den and they're a small sling and I don't wanna disturb them or break the burrow up to get it, but I wanna remove it. Should I remove it, or no?

Sometimes they remove the moult themselves so you may get it eventually. Don't dig it out though, leave little sling in peace for now.

There’s no need to dig down and get it, they may just bring it out to you after they’ve come out. There’s never a rush to get the molt or feed directly after they have molted!

Leave it in and be patient. Your sling might kick it out on its own eventually. If you go in and try to dig it out, you’re just gonna have an angry spood on your hands.

Your sling will eventualy come out. When it does, if you want to get the molt then go for it.

otherwise it is safe to leave it there.

some of my tarantulas would take out their molts for me. Some even put them in the water dish.

just leave it the sling will toss it out when it feels like it or make it part of its burrow as it digs and expands the burrow
