Auz Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Hi, this morning i noticed one of my L. verrucosa trying to shed. Three hours later, it hasn't made any progress... I misted the container again in hopes of that helping, it is usually pretty humid in there though. Picture is attached below. Any advice is welcome 😕 image- https://imgur.com/j2Dyrbk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All About Arthropods Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Unfortunately, I think it's a goner if it's stuck so deeply into its old exoskeleton. 😥 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auz Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019  I was afraid of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auz Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 update: I put him out of his suffering after trying to see if I could help. I know this is part of the hobby, but this is my first experience dealing with this. I was not looking forward to it. On the bright side, the rest of my small colony looks to be healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck with the others going forward.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Sorry to hear that, mismolts like this can happen occasionally even if care is optimal, just an unfortunate part of the hobby... 😕 I hope you other individuals make it to adulthood successfully! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
