Over the weekend all 10 of my spiderlings shed, (been a worrying weekend) unfortunately one of them is still attached to its shed by 2 of its legs. I tried gently pulling it but it wouldn't budge and obviously I didnt want to pull too hard id take the little fellas legs off. Any idea what I should do?

Strange thing, is that this guy seems to want the help, since i got him, he hasn't hardly come out of his hole, and is always skittish when i open the lid to throw in some crickets. Yet now he is out in the open and didn't run away when i was trying to separate his shed. He actually seemed to know what i was trying to do.

The little guy is a Mexican redknee.

im no expert but have u tried warm water

get the humidaty up as high as possible this will soften the old skin then you might beable to hold the old skin while the sling plls its self free failing that the sling will remove the 2 legs that are stook in its moult and grow them back on the next shed or you can pull the 2 legs of your self i have had to do this with many slings and adults they have all regenerated there legs just make sure they can drink water to build up there fluids after removing the legs ,

I decided to have a very close look to see how badly the legs where attached to the shed and i was thinking that like you suggested I would have to pull them off not something i was looking forward to doing when he decided to do it himself. It started pulling against the shed which I was holding with tweezers and off popped the legs. The severed legs where twitching for a good 5 minutes afterwards, was freaky.

Will it be ok now? do I have to do anything else? Or just wait for its next moult? I couldn't see any blood just 2 little stumps where his legs used to be.

Thanks for the help.

oh my!!! poor little thing, this was something i was worried about, what did you do when a spider had a bad moult, how on earth do you help, what an awful thought pulling its legs off.

thank goodness this dont happen to us when our jeans are to tight lmao
nah serioulsy thank you i wondered how/what could be done in this type of issue. now i am even more worried

As long as there is no fluid coming from the stumps you should be fine
