Poor bby A. minatrix bad molt :c

Poor little guy only has 4 legs left, buy only 1 is fully functional. 1 is in the molt still and 2 are messed up from hardening in the molt.

Assuming it lives, should I amputate the leg stuck in the molt still, the front right leg? Will the old molt cause problems when it molts next time?
@Spidermolt I plan on keeping pictures and records until it either gives up, or recovers. If it makes it to the next molt I will make a thread with pictures of its progress, how I cared for it, how it looks post molt, etc.
 
It may take pre-killed prey especially at this size so even if not fully mobile provided the fangs are ok it may feed just fine until it's next molt.

@dragonfire1577 Thanks, I hope!
My main worry now is its front leg that still has the molt stuck on it. I cant remove it without pulling the leg off. I dont know if i should leave, even through the leg isnt very useable, or if I should take the leg off and let it regenerate a new one.
 
@N1ghtFire Let it rest up a few days. I'd keep it in a small enclosure and offer it something soft (mealworms pieces etc) prekilled. Make sure the substrate is moist to keep it from drying out. I'd dampen a spot near it every few days in case it wants to drink. (don't let the sub get too wet)

Good luck. I hope your T makes it. :)
