When i recieved my P.marginemaculatus the other day one of them looked as if it had moulted a day or two before. Its still not feeding and rests out in the open and hardly move, i havent noticed this with any of my other ones after they have moulted :/
Is it likely to recover?

It is normal that it takes time for the new skin to harden up. Given the nature of your questions and your "worries", you could consider buying Peter Weygoldts book on the Biology, morphology and systematics of Whip spiders.....A very good book, the book, on amblypygids.......

I was just worrying too much, the whip scorpion in question seems fine now :)
