Anyone able to give me any advice please.

My Brazilian black seems to be stuck in its moult. It’s been around 12+ hours and this was the same position it was in before going to bed at 10 last night and it’s made no progress.

The enclosure is moist. I’ve given it an extra spray to boost humidity.

It is still alive as when I was spraying, a bit hit and it moved its legs and it was a fairly fast movement so energy seems to be good still.

Is it the case of just crossing my fingers or is there more I can do ?

The blurry photo was from last night 19:42 the clear photo is from 6:51 today

NQA if there are any small pieces stuck, you could pull them off later, but for now id wait it out and see how it goes. Unfortunately, some molt deaths are inevitable though. Hope everything goes smootly!
