woke up to my suspected female GBB juvie on her back today. But I have to leave for school and can't stick around and make sure she's okay. Today's gonna be a long day, isn't it?
and the nervewracking wait begins!

Hehehehe...it can definitely be nerve-wracking, but I'm sure your GBB will be fine. The first few times my NW terrestrials barricaded themselves in burrows for weeks on end I was sick with worry - but leaving them be is the kindest thing you can do. Generally speaking all they need is peace, quiet and a bit of time. 
If you ever find yourself in this situation again with a T molting in the open, if you can swing it you should try to set up a camera to capture the event. Molting time lapses are so cool to watch.

I actually did that when one of my B. Smithis molted in the center of his cage. it was a pretty good video but the camera ran out of space halfway through and ruined it at the end. I'm really waiting for when my LP's get to a large size to time lapse a molt because it should end up pretty good with a 9" tarantula molting.Hehehehe...it can definitely be nerve-wracking, but I'm sure your GBB will be fine.
