Good evening. Today i recieved 11 T's from other country.
Now i found out that my L1 P.Cambridgei leg is broken.
So should I cut the leg or just wait for it to molt and he
will drop it off by himself?

Do not attempt surgery on your spider. If the leg needs to go the spider will remove it itself. They have muscles that act as valves in the joints so you do not need to worry about it bleeding out. Either way, leave it be and it will correct with the next molt.

+1. Do not attempt to remove the leg, the spider knows if it needs to be removed or not.
