Injury after moulting

Hi all

First time poster on forum, so hope you can help.

My A.geniculata shed yesterday, all seemed fine she was done by about 10pm and sitting right way up again, however this morning she has a split on one of her front legs. I think because it's on the leg it shouldn't be life threatening(?) but second opinion would be helpful. I've attached a photo so you can see, I wonder if she just tried moving too soon and it just spit open as she is quite a big girl.

there isnt really liquid flowing but it looks red and nasty, her foot is kind of folded below the injury.

Is there anything worth doing? Or is it best to just leave it and hope it heals/seals that part of the leg off?


Cheers
Imber
