I had two obt slings molt this morning as well, but there to small to take pics. And unfortunately I had a scorpling who didn't survive its molt.
That's a big fear for me. When they're slings and they don't survive a molt. I've had a baby tarantula for one week. He's definitely molted although I don't have evidence of the molt. Molt. He's huge compared to what he was a week ago. He was hiding for a few days and I left him alone. He emerged much bigger but I do not have evidence of the molt

Yeah, my small ones have hidden a lot especially when molting, although my G. rosea slings seem to be more active above ground, more so than my G. pulchripes or pulchra had been at that stage/size. Others have said the same. One of my two rosea slings built up the walls above ground leaving a vast open cave below.

Yes!!!! My sling has a huge cavern that he dug out. Not a tunnel, but he's got a huge cavern. And he lives at the bottom of it. He got to work on that right away as soon as I got him
