My B. Vaganas molted recently and the orange/red hairs on it's body are really standing out.. But I can't coax her out for a picture :(

Just let her come out on her own. No need to bother her trying to coax her out.

Don't know if this helps, but my juvie female vagans would be drawn to the heat mat on my dubia colony next door to her. She would always sit right up against the glass, as close to the heat as possible. When I moved the colony she went right back to sitting in her tunnel. If you have one, attach it to the wall of her enclosure, let it warm up, turn off the light and come back in an hour ;)
