The P.Regalis has 6 legs . The missing leg didn't regenerate and the one that we thought he was going to lose he lost it. Well maybe the next molt he will get back his 8 legs.

Your P. regalis just lost one of the legs in the last few days right?

Give it a couple of molts, the legs should regenerate.
