Last year I brought 4 so called gimps from the Spider shop. That is 4 B grade T's. All 4 had a leg missing.

My experience was they seem to molt earlier when they need a new leg. So within a few months, all 4 had 8 legs again & all 4 had new leg that was very slightly thinner than the other 7. Second molt on all 4 resulted in 8 identically sized legs.

It's an amazing universe.
