Tarantula moltting, will she get stuck?

[mateenm]

Think my new curly hair is in her molting process, but she is in a corner with her back tight up against her hide. Will she be able to get out? Should I move the hide, or will that disturb her?

Don't touch her. Chances are, she will be fine and messing with her significantly lowers the chance of making it out unscathed. Keep an eye on her and if you need to, photograph her progress. If she is still stuck in the same position by the end of the day, I'd look on here to see what other folks have done to help the process.

OMG this is a disaster, you're T is going to explode, there is no room.
Quick get you're emergency supplies and head to the basement, warn neighbours if you can, phone the local news, do all you can to save everyone around you!!!!!!!

That was just a joke btw.
You're Tarantula knows what it's doing, moulting can be a stressful time as a new keeper. You eventually get to the point where you don't even notice until a moult appears outside a burrow or something.T's have been doing this for over 100 million years though. Just leave them to do there business, make sure that they always have a water supply, and you will be fine. That's assuming all other aspects of care is on point.

Leave it alone I’ve had them survive upright molts. They looked dead then molted fine. You could get a picture if it doesn’t disturb the t.

Outta your control all you can do is waiting it out and leave it alone

I agree with everyone telling you to leave her alone. This is something she has to do on her own, her own way. Keep an eye on her without disturbing her. Tarantulas really value their privacy during and after a molt. Don't be surprised if she hides for a couple weeks, and continues to be reclusive for a while even after she has emerged, had her first meal, and drank some water.

If she really gets into trouble and isn't able to complete the molt after 24-hours, consider taking some pics and posting them here for advice about how to best help her.
