well, i woke up today and found my g. rose sling lying on it's back so i set up camp and chilled there watching this... as i sat there the sling fully turned right side up and climped up his/her little box! now she's still up there... will it molt?? or do slings sleep on their backs? :?

if it is on its back its more than likely molting,G.roseas are slow growers remember that, messing with it will cause it to have a bad molt after 48 hours it is prolly dead.

Did you move her enclosure while she was on her back? If you disturbed her in any way, she could have been scared. I would say to put her enclosure in a closet or some other dark, quiet place and leave her undisturbed for a couple of days.
