I recently bought a ~4" female Grammostola sp. from a LPS. It'd seem that she molted recently, and a small piece (maybe half an inch long) didn't quite come off and is stuck to the top of her abdomen. It's mostly unattached except through a couple hairs, and doesn't seem to be bothering her any.
So, to my question; should I attempt to remove the piece of molt? Or is it not worth stressing her out/making her mad and potentially pulling out some hairs in the process? If it isn't necessary to pull it off I'd rather not, and I don't quite see why it would be necessary since it isn't squeezing any body parts, but I figured I'd ask a more experienced lot their opinions on the matter.
