[QUOTE="CosbyArt, post: 313476, member: 8168"] [USER=7562]@mcervig@yahoo.com[/USER] A toothpick would likely be the best option to make a hole safely in the dried exuvia skin. A needle while it could do it easier, it can just as easily pierce her anus/abdomen/etc afterwards too, making it more dangerous. Besides that the tip of the needle would only make a very tiny hole that may not help. If you are able to pull any of the exuvia skin away you could then cut it with a razor/scalpel as well.

As you said she is trying to remove the exuvia herself as well, so hopefully the exuvia has been thinned/damaged/punctured enough that she can safely finish the job.
