I would leave it alone for at least a day. You don't want to damage the spider. I have had my p. regalis molt 4 times in his hide. It was fine when not bothered with for a day or two. If you think you can get it without damaging the spider then you might try, but be careful.
ok, i got it. shes right by the lid and the exuvium was between me and teh spider. i just slid the lid open enough to reach in with some tweezers and get the exuvium. she barely moved at all when i did it.
3 days is the absolute minimum and I really recommend more. For sub-adults and adults I usually wait 1-2 weeks, depending on the T. Even my slings take at least 3 days to harden up (typically).
The spider won't eat until it's ready to eat again. If it has webbed itself in, then it'll come out when it's ready. The fangs should be completely black before you try to feed it, which may be hard to see.
