hello all, my second female pseudoharpax molted to adult but halfway through the molt stopped for some reason

Her thorax was straight and all her legs were in the skin

She wasn't like stuck, she just decided to stop for some reason, I caught it in time and averted disaster, she just has a mangled leg

Any ideas why this happened? Did she just get too tired? Anything I can do next time?

Thanx and right now she is fine, but if I hadn't come home she would've died, she's still a bit weak but she is not trapped

 
do you know your ambient humidity? i try to keep mine 50%+.

 
It's always at least 40%, more when I spray

I may put out a bucket of water to release moisture in the air

Ironically I had her in the kitchen few hours ago wen I boiled water to cook potatoes

I think if she survives the night she can pull through
