Look closely at the front 2 left legs (1,2) she lost those and the pedipalp on that side and I think leg 7 was totally jacked up and a liability! First moult after the bad one she started regrowing the palp and legs and she popped the bad leg out just as I figured she would! Next moult her new limbs looked better and leg 7 regrew! I am in total awe of the recuperative abilities of our spiders! T's are total BAD@$$! Damn I love these animals!! Had to share a bit of her story. I'm literally tearing up thinking about our journey together so far and how special she is in the collection. Scariest thing was the 1st moult after the bad. My heart was literally in throat when I checked back on her! When I seen those new legs and palp and the bad gone( no hemolymph, all her) I was overjoyed and that's understatement!! Lol.</p></blockquote><p></p>
