Stuck Molt?

It's only just finished and is possibly still laying on it. Don't disturb it and let it be.
If it doesn't end up being stuck dampen the area with a cotton bud or something similar and let it soak. It'll come off easy enough.

That's what I normally do.....wet (soak) a Qtip and gently massage it around the area that appears to be stuck. It usually comes off.

Let it be for a while, don't crowd or stress a freshly molted tarantula. That never ends as best as it could.

Thanx folks. Got real busy for a bit.
Turns out it was just fine. Just finishing up when i 1st looked. An hr later, good to go. Healthy little T. Epicureanum. My noobiness got the best of. Watching over 10 or so slings as a newby is an experience!
