My 4th instar C. Gracilis stuck in her moult!

It`s been since last night and she still hasn`t managed to get her chela and 2-3 legs out. I keep finding her on her back and i try to lightly pull on it this morning. I thought it would be dead by morning. But sure enough the poor little feller just can`t get out, but is still kicking strong. I`v eraised the humidity to 90-95% and the temp up to 88oF!

Any answers are very appreciated!

Well its been three days now and she`s still stuck. I tried to pul it off, but its pissed and keeps trying to asting me. I`m afraid if i pull to hard i`m gonna pull of its legs/chela.

Ilight misted him again.
But i think hes gonna be very deformed if he makes it through this. His siblings are much larger and well defined. poor little guy. I just wish i could do something.

Any Ideas will definately help.

Just an idea...
since this poor scorp's fate is sealed, what about trying to remove the remaining skin by using a scissor or a very sharp blade.
Try to remove as more as you can and leave what you cannot remove as it is.

I think its worth a try since 3 days have passed...
Good luck

well He`s been moved back into a deli cup and was hand fed by yours truly. I peeled of everything i could from his moult. But the poor little guy cant walk or use his pincers. maybey if he eats alot it`ll be ok.


We`ll see
