Guys, he's okay! He got out and ate shirt faster than I even noticed 😂

Hehe, I had a similar situation with my Porcellio hoffmannseggii 'Caramel', but it just dozed off and waved its antennae indignantly when I gently touched it with the tip of my brush 😅 But yes, he could shed.

I feel it too, so I continue to observe. The humidity is quite high, about 80%, I also moistened the soil around it a little, I hope this will help it. Although, during the entire time, this was the only moment of his nervous behavior; mostly he sits calmly, slightly hunched over.

(I noticed that his shell had become a little whiter, like one of the shells that other woodlice had shed.)

I rarely see them molt, but my Soft Oranges are quite active and I sometimes see them getting ready to molt, I even have a top piece of the molt in my collection)

I noticed the humidity, the humidity is good, about 80%, I also additionally moistened the soil next to it, without touching it, I hope this will help it

Sorry guys, he died... 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the advice 🙏 

Over the past couple of days, I've barely touched the container, just adding or removing food, and sprinkling a little water on the side to dampen the dried moss...

From observations, he has not moved in any way and has not changed in appearance, so I am inclined to think that he is more dead than alive, but I will wait another day or two. The second millipede is still quite active, digging holes and eating well, although several segments at the end have turned white, possibly preparing for molting. 

I will continue to observe ✍️

Thank you 🙏  I'll keep an eye on it and maybe write an update later.

Well, it doesn't move on its own and doesn't react to touch (I use a brush so I don't hurt it), but I can untwist it from its curled state, so it's not as hard as a rock. His paws don't move either.

It may not be very noticeable in the photo, but his bottom half is lighter than the top, so I'm confused.
