This is something I have been waiting on for several months now. My T. Stirmi went and buried itself at one point a while ago and would not come out no matter what. Which from my experience with others that I have usually means it's going to molt at some point. Well I wasn't wrong and at least I was able to keep an eye on it this whole time because it dug right up to the glass and just sat there. Well checking on it the other night I noticed it was flipped over which usually means it's about to molt. So I figured I'd give it a few days to harden itself and then attempt to dig it out to make sure it was alright. Even though I was holding my breath the whole time I was about to dig it out without any problems and was able to somehow get the molt out too without destroying it. I was even able to hold it a little, but didn't want to stress it out too much at this point. So I'll just let it be at this point and keep an eye on it to make sure it's still doing alright.
Along with since the molt ended up surviving so well I'm pretty sure it is a female. So I got really lucky when I bout it and that means it'll at least be alive for longer.
