Is this a failed moult?

[Isopods others]

My young Sp Guandanemo has moulted seemingly,
He/ she is unmoving, how do I know whether it has failed the moult and is dead or is just resting?

Probably just resting.

Hopefully, it does worry me that it isn't moving, not even slightly, and how long should I anticipate the process if still alive to take?

It is quite normal for them not to be moving after a molt, as they just sit there, stretch, and wait to harden before doing anything. It could take days, so no need to worry.

If you want, try dripping some water onto the webbing and seeing if it is interested in a drink.

I was under the impression velvet spiders should be given no outside moisture as they get all their water content from their food, both from sources on the Web and looking at their care guides here

Pretty sure that's relating to heavy misting or substrate dampening. My reasoning is that after a molt, many spiders are prone to losing a bit of hydration, and since it hasn't left the webbing to drink. A couple drops near the spider might entice it to drink as well as move for your visual confirmation. If you don't want to add a few drops that's fine too.

You are right they were just resting! They are now in a more normal position thankyou for alleviating my fear
