Wild caught Arizona blonde -one leg much thinner than the rest

[Golgotha]

Wild caught Arizona Blonde. It walks fine and uses all of its legs with no visual problem. Is this from a bad molt and it will be fine next molt? Has anyone ever seen this before. It appears to completely have the same range of movement that the mirror leg on opposite side has. It is doing great and eating and drinking well. Should I worry? Will next molt correct?

Yes, I would say that is from a previous loss of a limb which is pretty common, So far in my experience of lost items - legs, pedipalps and spinnarets I have been fortunate and they have regrown the missing bit and it takes a few moults to get up to full strength again.

That is great news. The coloring looks more like a female, you agree? Males seem much darker all around.

I can't wait until it molts again.
