I dropped one of my blue death feigning beetles while walking and stepped on it on carpet and I didn't have shoes on. I FEEL SO BAD. It broke 2 of its legs but is still walking around and moving. Are they able to regenerate their legs? While it die due to the loss? Please help

Nope, looks like it’ll be slightly handicapped for the rest of its life. Don’t worry too much, these guys are tough little buggers and I admit that when I had these guys I dropped them from time to time with little harm although I would still look for any wounds or signs of internal damage.

I have a couple that came to me missing small portions of their legs, but they get along just fine.
