Ladies and Gentleman I am ridden with panic right now!
I got 2 C. Versicolour slings, 1 of which was a gift from a friend for my birthday however about 3-4 weeks ago my partner almost crushed the 2cm sling on accident, I managed to recover the little one! It hasn’t ate since and went in to premoult which I assumed as much after the incident. Now my problem is this; she’s been moulting for what I know of for 7 hours... I’ve upped the humidity and all I can make out is her carapace has popped off and she’s got the abdomen off, she twitches just ever so slightly but no progress for about 4 hours ish..

I’m worried she’s stuck, it’s unusually long for a sling right? When is appropriate to intervene? I’d rather help then see her suffer.
Let me know guys I’m worried!

You can't help. But you can do a lot of harm. I suggest doing some research..even just a little. I'm starting to see why so many assholes inhabit the other forum. I feel a change coming on..like a molt..

Well that’s why I’m asking for advice? I’ve never had this situation before, I’ve tried ‘researching’ this but I’m getting controversial comments.

I will leave her be.
Thanks.
