Harpactira namaquensis "curly leg"

Something went wrong in the last molt and this baby now has two curly legs. I hope the next molt will fix that - or it will lose both of those legs. It's eating well, though, so that's ok.
Ooooo nooo :(. Dampen up the sub a little. Feed fatty foods often to push to next moult. I had this happen to lots of my H. guttata. Managed to save a few that way
 
That stinks, it looks like maybe it had trouble getting those feet out before the exo started hardening. If it's eating good I wouldn't worry about it as much. Hopefully the next molt will straighten things out. Good luck.
 
@KezyGLA Is it a dangerous condition :anxious:? I thought it would just molt and then everything would be fine?? I'll definitely dampen the sub and feed it mealworms.
