My curly molted this weekend. I first noticed that her abdomen started darkening about two and a half weeks ago.
Instead of molting in her hide, she decided on a rather precarious position on top of her hide:

I did not want to disturb her, so I took the precaution of packing the areas around the molting mat with toilet paper just to be on the safe side. It was a pretty good idea.
Molt about halfway through:

Here she started to slide off the edge of the molting mat:

In the end she slid head first off the molting mat onto the toilet paper. She eventually made a rather undignified inverted backflop to get back on her feet.
All's well that ends well!
