Default Tarantula and damaged leg

Ok one of my slings has done its leg in, its just moulted and by the look of it the leg is bent upwards. Will it drop it naturally and is their anything i need to do? Belive i already know the answer but just making sure.

If the leg is bothering it, then it will just drop the leg. Just keep an eye on it; I'm sure it will be fine.

totally should be fine..itl decide whether to keep it or drop it... let it eat it too, dont take it straight away. They tend to eat autotomised legs to redigest nutrients, not always though
