Hi ! i’m new to the hobby and i’ve recently noticed that one of my A. seemanni’s back hind leg is more under the abdomen than the rest, she can move the whole leg up until that one point, and if something is wrong is there anything i can do?

The abdomen looks really dark in the last 2 photos. It may be in premolt and this is just a tear in the exoskeleton. If the abdomen really is dark I would suggest spraying a corner of the enclosure to raise the humidity to try and prevent that leg from getting stuck when it molts

The past three days she has rejected all food dropped in, so i have been speculating a pre molt may be soon ! thank you for the help and advice !
