[QUOTE="Predatorhousepet, post: 313989, member: 10650"] I ended up leaving it be. After a few days the part covering her tarsus came off on it's own and she regained full function of her foot. She still had a small "anklet" of exuvia encircling the last joint but that didn't seem to hinder her in any way, it finally fell off about a week later. I noticed it was a bit knobby on the joint where her entire exoskeleton had been dangling...this is probably the reason she couldn't get it to shed past that joint. Having a knobby leg joint doesn't seem to affect her ability to bend it and it only caused a minor issue with molting. However, I expect there may be a similar issue with that same joint on her next & probably final molt. [/QUOTE]
