Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arachnoclown" data-source="post: 179350" data-attributes="member: 27444">Every tarantula that I've had with this problem in the past has got worse with each molt eventually killing it.Because she had a crooked limb after the first bad molt it made it harder for her to molt again. Kinda like Scar tissue build up.  Personally I would remove each crooked limb to aid in the next molt.  Grab the femur and pull and twist. Should pop right off.  A little corn starch on the bleed will stop it.If its too much for you to do, you may be able to find a veterinarian that can give the spider a little Co2 and do it for you...it will be expensive though.Here's a photo of a removed limb...this is what you want it to look like. Good luck[ATTACH=full]48867[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]48868[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
