I just got home, My L parahybana (the one with missing legs) was molting, except, he wasn't moving and death curled. I used a glycerine lubed q-tip on the stuck areas, and pinned down the exuvia with a brush while it pulled out. It looked like death warmed over when it got done. I hope it makes it, and that I did the right thing.

Thats a shame, at least you tried to to help it. Better to try and do something than nothing. It always sucks when you lose one.

sorry to hear it did not make it. You at least tried to help it out.

Back to regular scheduled programming folks...

Bad molts happen - and it was an issue of humidity, even experienced keepers make mistakes.

Better luck next time.
