My T. Stirmi molted last night and I noticed this morning her molt was still attached to her fangs.

If at all possible use some cotton buds & using lightly warmed water, try & moisten her, around the fangs. Normally, the molt will come away, when moist.
Sometimes a mist will work, but it is not ideal, as it does tend to stress them even more. But if she is not a T whose attitude lends it's self towards helping her. Then maybe misting, is all you can do.

Thank you for the feedback. It’s much appreciated.
