Bent leg after molt

[Goopyguy56]

G Pulchripes leg has slight bend after molting last night. Not sure if it is an issue that will address itself with time. She is probably still soft so I don't know if the usual post molt yoga would straighten it out or not. She is around 2.5 to 3 inches dls. The pic makes it not look as bad. When she walks you can tell it is a little off because the tip of her leg that is bent does not make contact with the substrate

It won’t likely be an issue at all in my opinion.

Mine recovered from severely bent four front legs with no problem just a molt after.

Wow that is impressive

I figured it would still survive. I just wasn't sure it would ever straighten out even with the next molt

Since even losing a leg or two doesn’t seem to be a major concern to a tarantula itself, bent leg or two would be just a minor issue I guess.

I never had a tarantula with a lost leg, but while lost leg can be recovered after a couple of molts unless it is a matured one, bent leg can be recovered even just a molt after it seems.
