Update on over a year with no molt

[Le_kelscifer]

I came home today to find my A genic, Misha, who hasn't molted since may of last year, finally molting! And in the upright position which I've never seen. I really hope they pull through. I could cry I'm so happy

*Another update*. I pulled the molt early, to see what I was working with. It sadly appears that they didn't properly molt their sucking stomach. I don't really see much of one. I'm really bummed. It also seems like their legs aren't fully functional at this point. But I'll keep a close eye on it.

Molts get retrieved in all sorts of conditions. Some are a full molt, but with some T's, they delight in providing sabotaged molts, that are unsexable. I have a couple of T's who we assume are female, as we never get a decent molt to sex & have not for several years & thus assume due to age it's female.

I understand. But I don't belive they did much at all to their molt. I take this as a special circumstance. They were extremely lethargic and couldn't move due to the duration of how long they were cramped inside their old exo. This molt seems perfectly intact which is why I'm worried about that sucking stomach.
