My E King is very large and in a very small shell...the shell has always been too small and yet he refuses to change into any shell i offer. today he is practically completly out of it except for the end of his abdomen. i also noticed this clear gel like pocket at the end of his back legs coming out of the shell. what can i do for him! Conditions are perfect and the rest are healthy and happy! He just won't leave that shell!!!

Sounds like a molt sac or gel limb, does he have all of his legs? Otherwise I wouldn't worry.

Sounds like he's gettng ready to molt!

Put him in the ISO. He is probably going to molt really soon because he is out of his shell. It might be a surface molt unless he decides to dig under tonight. Good luck!
