That's pretty normal. There's no need to check on her. You wouldn't want to risk interrupting a molt or anything like that by digging her out to check on her.
Like what...Is that the sole reason you bought a tarantula?
I wont dig her out or anything, which is why I was like, a little worried in case, but if she's chillin then I am.
I'd have to remove her molt though right? Because of mold?
All you need to know about mold | Arachnoboards
Nope. There's no problem with leaving the molt in there. In fact, she'll probably remove any molts herself and dump them outside her burrow eventually.
At this stage, it will eat frequently and moult frequently. It is therefore not strange to not see your tarantula for a few weeks as it is preparing to moult or recovering from a moult. Your spider is very vulnerable during during this time. Many have lost tarantulas by accidently disturbing the spider during a moult, so it is better to assume that everything is alright than to check by lifting up its log.That's pretty cool. Do you have any super active T's? Like ones that come out a lot???
Molts will not mold. There is no critical reason to remove molts unless you need them for sexing.
Most terrestrial NW T's will burrow and sit in the entrance to their den when they are young. They tend to sit out in open more when they are older; it's a scary world when you are the size of a 5p coin.
Moults don't go mouldy, they eventually just become brittle and break apart, tarantulas will often just dump them somewhere outside of the burrow (usually in the water dish) or web them into the walls of a burrow so there's no need to remove moults in any hurry unless you need them for sexing.
Probably me lol, I've lost count of how many times I've posted it either on here or on Wastebook.
I keep her in a dim area, just to keep her comfy, but she comes out once a day, sits on the moss and goes back in. That isn't weird?
Just spooder things haha, My A. Chalcodes sits in the exact same spot for weeks at a time, one day she'll web her hide entrance up and sit looking out. Then the next day she's back out in her usual spot.
Weird little things they are. At least she approves of dads housework!
its not odd all my ts that actually use a burrow or hide. will do that usually late/early morning hoping i am guessing that a prey item will wander by for them to eat once the sun rises they hide again the a genic and b smithii are always out perched ontop of their hides.those two would be part of the percentage that get preyed upon in the wild since they never burrowed or make use of the hides provided since they were slings
My B. Hamorii is the same! Never even bothered to make a burrow, just sits on top of the cork bark like pride rock

they make for perfect display ts though hahaIt's her feeding day. She reared up on the cricket then proceeded to let it walk into her burrow and steal her home. I am. Offended. She's just sitting outside the borrow. Staring. My T is officially a useless arachnid.
I looked in there and she's molting. I'm worried because they can get hurt when they molt. Have you had any problems with that before??? And are there any signs of a bad molt? I was at work so I don't know how long she's been at it.My B. Hamorii is the same! Never even bothered to make a burrow, just sits on top of the cork bark like pride rock
i have been lucky so far only had a molt issue once with my lp sling signs of a bad molt i dunno about i havent been keeping ts enough years to know all the signs of a bad molt. theres not much you can really do about it anyways once its began the process either it will make it or it wont. best thing you can do is just leave it be to do its thing go eat your dinner,play video games etc. go occupy your time and dont stress over what you cant control
