Tarantula in molt?

[MissSpider]

My friend just bought her 1st tarantula and within the week he built a wall of dirt closing him in his hidey hole. I hear this is normal for a molting tarantula but it has been over a month and I have read many terrifying things of tarantulas being stuck in molt. Can we remove the dirt to find and look at the tarantula and make sure hes OK?

Leave it alone. Don’t even think about digging it up

My C. Darlingi has been buried for like 3 months. Come, join us on the raft of PayNoAttention. Where we drink freely and bother not which should be not bothered.

I have read many terrifying things of tarantulas being stuck in molt.

Now, give some time to read many successful molt stories.

Tarantulas know what they are doing.

I have read many terrifying things of stuck in skinny jeans human stories too, but I do not fuss and try to look into changing rooms at the mall.

Ok awesome. Thank you all for your quick responses

Not sure of you can see it or not, but my B. auratum has been like this for over a month. Completely sealed into it's deep burrow. Totally fine, just waiting to molt.
