Mr.P has molted over the past 2 days- He has been free and resting from his old endo for over 24 hours, but still has a bit hanging off the back of him.
Is there something I should do?

Raise the Humidity. That's the best thing you can do. Raise the humidity and wait. if the piece doesnt come off in a few days, then we can try other methods, but right now there's no reason to panic.
The piece looks wet, so I don't think you'll have any issues.

Thank you! I was lifting the main molt away with little plastic tongs, and I attempted to lift this part too, as I thought it was just sitting on top of him- I stopped as soon as I realized it was attached- I hope I didn't hurt him!
