So I got him October 30 and was possible pre-molt. I want more and more to be able to see him not happening. He has dug his home in the dirt piled up all the dirt around the entrance except for just a little escape trap and he’s got water in there and she told me not to feed him but when I saw her a week ago, she said maybe just give him a little one well I saw the little one crawl in the hole and it didn’t come out so I think that’s a good thing. He’s still alive, but he’s not come out to molt or is he gonna molt in his trap that he made?

He will come out when he is ready. No worries. Sometimes they stay in their retreat for weeks…

Would be careful giving live crickets. These may hurt the T while molting.
Better maim (so it won't live long enough) or kill to be sure. T's can stay in their hole for many many weeks, but generally will come out eventually
You didn't say how old/large it is.
A good source for info is Tom's big spiders (over 300 podcasts, YouTube with added info etc.)
