I’ve had a skunk cleaner in its little QT tank for a week now, and last night he molted. Time to graduate to DT!!

How long should I wait to minimize the stress of moving him?

His water is at 1.023, while DT is at 1.025. Of course, I’ll drop acclimate then match temp, but can I start that today, or give him a few days to harden up his carapace etc?

No other additions into his tank- it’s all about him.

Thanks
 
I'd wait a few days before transfer. Rather be safe than sorry.
