[QUOTE="mcervig@yahoo.com, post: 313465, member: 7562"] My Annie- L5 female Iris oratoria molted 3 days ago and her skin was stuck on her butt. I have never seen any mantid survive so long with this scenario. I used warm water to take off what I could. I used a magnifying glass to see that where she eliminates (poops), there is skin plugging her hole. Of course she won't eat. I gave her a very small amount of honey water. She is trying so hard to eliminate and get that skin out of her butt. I have tried for hours to dissolve it with warm water and paper. I used cotton, toothpicks and tweezers with no luck. Since she will die, I am willing to try anything that is humane to save her. Is there any other substance that will dissolve the molt skin? I am thinking of trying a needle but I don't want to hurt her. Any ideas? I love Annie so much [/QUOTE]
