One of my Orthoporus Ornatus took over two months to molt and finally resurfaced 6 days ago but its exoskeleton hasn't hardened.
It's alive and I've seen it eating but it's very lethargic and remains pale and soft.
Is this normal or bad news for my Giant Sonoran?
First pic was 6 days ago, second pic taken today.

Sorry to hear that. Probably nothing you did wrong at all. Its just that moulting is an extraordinarily complicated natural process and sometimes it just doesn't go right.
