After care for my freshly moulted salmon pink bird eater

Hi guys, I recently got this salmon pink bird eater about 3 weeks ago and just over 24 hours ago from writing this post he/she moulted. About 12 hours after the moult she seems to be just a little curled up in her corner where she moulted. This morning I saw her stretching a little but she hasn’t moved too much since being in her corner as you can see…

I was just coming on here to ask if this was normal or if I should risk trying to get her out to see if she is doing okay. So far I have of course just left her and filled her water dish up full so I don’t know if it’s normal and she will just come around or if this is something

a little more serious and out of the norm. Hope someone can help!

Ps I have attached photos of the position that I am talking about so you can see :)

You don't say how big it is. Larger Ts can take longer to harden up so please don't try to move it.
Can you see the rest of the T through the side of the container, possibly enough to get a photo?

Hi there, i sadly forgot to post the update but it is about 4 inches after the molt now and he/she has started to stretch out the limbs and has been resting on its rear enclosure panel so all looks good. Just seems as if the T needed a little extra time to gather its energy after the molt! :)
