Spider C Molted again on 03/01/07 and the missing leg (left rear) is coming back very nicely. It is pretty useless right now, with only slight movement while walking, but after a few more molts you won't even be able to tell it was ever lost. Cool!
Now, she is about 1 1/2" long.

WOW! What a difference a couple weeks and a few dozen crickets make! Hard to believe this is the same anemic looking critter shown above! These pictures were taken on 02/15/07. This little doggie has been making a real pig of himself!
Losing a leg certainly hasn't affected his appetite. I just hope he doesn't explode...

These pictures were taken 01/27/07, just a few hours after molting. Poor fella lost a hind leg during the molt. The leg will grow back, so no worries, mate.
Oh, yeah, the last picture in this group shows the critter crawling across a measuring tape. He's barely 1 1/4" across, still kinda puny. Oh, well, at least it's a real Mexican Redknee!
