I have about 8 LARGE hissers. They breed and I have little ones all throughout as well. The smallest of the large ones, was molting.. she was on her back for about two days stuck in the molt. Her head flap is like, turned backwards. She’s very pale, and she doesn’t move much when I touch her. I tried to help and get the molt off, and I moved her to her own compartment to try to get better. I misted and offered her water but she won’t move. She barely moves in my hand as I hold her. Is she dying??

Any closer pictures? I don’t think they can survive a bad molt .
He’s missing legs now that I look closer. Is he a goner? I don’t want him to suffer

If he’s unresponsive I’d say yes , I’ve actually lost more orange head roaches to stunted growth molts Then old age so far . I don’t know if hissers require more humidity or not though.
