T's First Molt, Trouble Molting?

To make this short, my G. Pulchripes sling Bundy is trying to molt. I found him this morning, walking around slowly with 2-3 extra leg on top of its body. It keeps trying to flip over on its back and can't, thus walking around looking quite frustrated. I'm afraid that if it is caught in a molt too long that Bundy will die. I might be too over-concerned right now, but this is my first molt I've gone through with any of my T's. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure what could be happening.... Pictures would definitely help though.

I looked online a little bit and decided to do a lot of misting to see if it would help and it did! He finally molted successfully! Maybe he just got stuck? I'm as lost as you guys are but, he's doing okay right now. I'm going to keep monitoring him to make sure he didn't hurt himself walking around mid-molt.
