ABDOMEN NOT MOLTED HELP!

[VukSRB]

My sling N. Chromatus had a tough molting process that lasted for 48h. It got gut all his legs but abdomen is not molted and it cant really move because its all stuck to him. How can I remove it safely befoure he gives up. He must be exhausted and stressed after 48h of molting. I didnt touch him during that time, just observed.
