Hi my L. Parahybana just had a success molt(I think) the t is laying on its side and looks like it’s on deaths door however. Is this just becuase it’s exhausted or could there be a problem with the T?

They'll do that after a molt, its fine. If it was dying there is probably nothing you could do anyway. Pics would be nice

that is perfectly fine, it will be soft for a few days, stretch and mostly remain on the molting mat, where it is safe from abrasive substrate. Do not attempt to feed it for at least a week.

Thanks for the reassurance and advice

Time limits for feeding are wrong.

Feed only when fangs are black. Otherwise a T may die if fangs are lost etc
