bad molt

[titan tarantula]

i have a question, one of my slings appears to have had a bad molt. from what i can tell it has its fangs out and the lower portion of its body, but all it legs are stuck inside. what should i do and if i cant get it out can it survive until its next molt if i hand feed it.

Dissolve a few drops of dishwashing soap in a cup of water and dab or drop it onto the stuck parts, careful not to get any on the booklungs. Wait a few hours, and do the same. Repeat this. Finally, if no separation seems possible, you may want to again apply the solution and gently pull the stuck skin with tweezers. A drastic final solution would be to pull off any stuck legs from the spider at the joint connecting them with the body. They would grow back in subsequent molts.
