What really?? He would do that?? But why would it come out crooked?? Hs looks great!

 
It’s probably like that due to issues when removing it from the skin/when it was drying during the molt. As long as he can move and eat fine it won’t really matter.

 
@Mitch65009 Ive seen legs stick to the side of a wet cup if they molt too close to the side. Foliage can snag a leg.

As the new exo skeleton sclerotizes, the leg takes an awkward set. 

Unfortunately, at adult molt, there isn't any further opportunity for correction. 

 
He'll be fine. Congrats on the molt! One bad leg won't bother him much, and if it gets in his way then he'll bite it off. He's pretty!
