B albopilosum

My first time trying to prepare a molt that sat under the T for 24 hours. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Suggestions? Humidifier, if you have one. Or an aromatherapy diffuser. Or a tea kettle. You want a concentrated stream of steam. Hold the exuviae in the steam for 30 seconds to 1 minute and the whole thing will become pliable again as if it was just shed off the T a second ago. You can also use water with a bit of soap in it but I never do that. Never had to. My way works well each time. Also, you've got a female.
 
@miss moxie Thanks so much. I really appreciate the advice and the sex determination. You are always quick to help and I want you to know I really appreciate it.
 
I find soaking the molt in warm water and a drop or 2 of dish soap works well...I use toothpicks to carefully move the molt around/stretch it out etc
