Its new leg is about 1/2 the size of the rest, so probably next molt it will be back to normal. Here is is, all fresh lol.

I'm used to Coffee, my Psalmopoeus reduncus hiding away behind her "tree" but tonight something made me turn her terrarium round to check on her and, lo and behold, she had just moulted and was still stretching herself. You can just see her old exo through the web to the bottom right.

I can understand that, just because of how easy they are to keep, but 9 out of 10 newbies (myself included when i got my first T) want to hold their spiders lol

I have always been the 1 out of 10 preferring to leave them to it. Hold some occasionally but generally as a rule I don't bother. ☺

I used to want to handle them all the time at first but now i will usually leave them alone. I occasionally handle them but i only do if they come out of their enclosure by themselves and seem relaxed enough, i wont force them to come out though.
