Lubber grasshopper help.

First off, is there any experience grasshopper keepers, or are you all just into spiders?

Second off: the issue.
All of my grasshopper nymphs once they make their final molt to adulthood, they all molt really funky, their legs are all twisty, they only live for about 3 days, and all my years of grasshopper keeping, I have never seen something like that.

In other words, help me my grasshopper broken.

If they're anything like certain roach species, humidity and warmth has a massive effect on the success of a moult and whether or not they display messed up wings and stuff in adults. Maybe it's one of these factors?

Maybe, I'm not really sure?

They need decent humidity, heat, and a vertical surface they can grip and molt from. Since they're big and bulky they let gravity help them emerge.
