If the leg came of at the coxa (which is what your description sounds like) it should be fine so long as it isn't still bleeding (which is rare for a leg autotomized at the coxa). If it's got more moults, the leg will be regenerated back to normal within a couple of moults.

I don't see anything, it looks dry. So he will be ok ?? How many molts will it take for it to grow back, he is maybe 1/2 an inch ??

At that size, figure 2-3 moults for full recovery unless it was lost very soon after it's last moult, then it might even be fully recovered after the next moult.

At 1/2" it will certainly regrow the limb in a few molts. No need to worry.
