hi there I have a Mexican red knee and it was molting yesterday but sadly it was not going to plan he couldn't not get out of his old eskeleton and I seen that you can help them if it happens so I did because I couldn't watch her slowly die so I tried carefully taking the old eskeleton off but didn't work out very well she is hardly moving the only time she is is when I drop a few drops of water on her fangs which is really confusing me I don't have a clue what to do she's dying slowly I think:/ there must be a way to save her shally? She's definitely still alive just! Need help quickly please really worried

I remember seeing a video on Youtube of a man (I think the name was Tarantula guy..but don't quote me) and he had a bad moult with one of his T's and decided to step in. Unfortunately his pet didn't survive, but I think it had other problems with it's abdomen) it might be worth searching it up to see how he did things...although I am pretty new to keeping T's, all I have heard is to leave a moult alone, and unfortunately let nature take it's course :( Is it an old Tarantula?
Hope everything works out!! :)
