It is now 9:30 Eastern time Wednesday morning. My Bracyphelma smithi has been on its back for at least 2 hours now with no change. I have her in my classroom so I am not sure when she took this position. Last I saw her, yesterday 4:00, she was up.
How long should I go before I begin to worry, she is alive, I am certain. I have the hot water running in the sink to add humidity to the air in the room. Her last molt was in June of this year.
I had her since she was 1/4 inch, fed her fruit flies and I really don't want to lose her. This is the first molt I have been worried about with any of my tarantulas. Although I am excited to see her in this position and may be able to see the molting process, I am worried it is taking too long.
I have always wanted to see one molt but now I am glad I usually walk in after the molts take place. Who know how long some took. Any advice?????
Thanks,
Scott
