yeah that was help full, thanx.
after a few hours of no replys on here i copy n pasted over to rfuk forum with a little explanation of what id done since posting here.
id managed to cut away all the exo i could, any more will cause injury and it was taking a long time so she was probably really stressed... i found out all the legs on one side are stuck in the old moult an as this is the side she was laying on i could do little, i did try turning her gently but she was having none of it.
i used a fine paint brush and water to brush away the old skin of her abdomen but those legs dont look good, i cant get to them and if i did two of them are fully inside the old skin the third is about half way out, she only had three legs that side cuz she lost one in her last moult two years ago.
ill keep an eye on her and see if theirs any thing else i can do... thanx again.
