Mismolt yet again

[mantisfan101]

Yet another mismolt. This is supposed to be a subadult pnigomantis, is it possible that she’ll be able to make it to adulthood? I think I might give up this species and try a smaller species, as this is the fourth mismolt that I had to deal with. 

 

[Synapze]

If her raptorials are stuck in that position, it's unlikely she'll make it. Sorry. 

 

[mantisfan101]

Ah, that sucks...this was the fourth mismolt that I had, I think I may need to try this all over again...

 

[MrGhostMantis]

Are you keeping them slightly humid?

 

[mantisfan101]

Yeah, I misted her daily and made sure to provide extra humidity the night before. 

 

[hysteresis]

What is the molt surface like? As mantises get larger, the surface must be a bit stiffer. Sometimes they fall while maneuvering.

 

[Mantis Lady]

Mismolts terrible. She looks very bad.... I dont think she can move in that position.

 

[MrGhostMantis]

Yeah, he put her down...really sad.
