A few weeks ago I was a total dolt and sloshed water into my B hamorii sling's enclosure, rendering the substrate way too wet. I thought it would dry on its own since I keep the sling very warm, but this has not been the case. However, the sling seemed unbothered by the wet substrate so I decided to leave it for a while in the hopes that it would dry out.
I came home this morning to see her in an odd position that kind of resembled a death curl with one of her legs beneath her. When I opened the enclosure she perked up. I also noticed a considerable amount of webbing around the enclosure that had not been there before, leading me to believe she may be in premolt (although besides a large abdomen there arent any other clear signs)
I am very worried. Should I remove the t and replace the substrate immediately? Or would that be risky in of itself considering the faint possibility of premolt? I am a first time tarantula keeper and I am so angry at myself for making this mistake. Please help me!!
