When to get nervous about a molt?
 
My "rescue" G. chiragra has been sealed up in molt now for 11 days. He was in good shape prior to molt, ate well, very active and meaner than a snake. Water parameters are all excellent. I know the G. chiragra take longer to complete molt, but I'm wondering when to get nervous about this. He was 3 1/2 inches long.

A couple of weeks is not unusual.

Whew....after 18 days of seclusion, "Grumpy" came out of his molt meaner than ever.
