ok this is my T's 4th molt, and this is the first time i have actually seen it happen, and i know she should be on her back, but she doesn't seem to be doing anything, just kinda lying there, and its been about 2 hours, and she doesn't seem to be making any progress. How long should it take? and can i tell if its going ok?

Don't worry, as of now its not time to worry yet. It can take up to 24 hours. So right now you're T should be doing fine. Even if it hasn't moved.

It DOES take awhile...I'm sure everything is fine. My G. Pulchra laid some silk down Sunday morning and took about 8 hours before he decided to turn over. Then from there I waited another 3 hours with nothing happening before I had to go to sleep. IN the morning, he was all done and fine. Sometimes I think it comes down to "a watched pot never boils" kind of a thing. Good luck!
