you should stay with the ISO idea. just keep the humidity and temp up and keep it dark. you have to stay calm and wait. patience is the key.

I wish I had better news for you, but it's really up to him now. He's been running around naked all this time and is still alive, so maybe he's got some fight left in him.

I think he's dead :(

Last night when i checked on him he was near the corner with his leg on one of the shells and hes still in the same position today. I gave him a little nudge with my finger but he didnt move :( Theres no death smell, though.

can hermit crabs sleep?

I haven't had a hermit crab die on me, so I don't know what the death smell is like, but from what I hear on the board it'll knock you back. I'd go by that... Try not to touch him; it might stress him out. You want him to be comfy. Give him lots of time to himself.
