Swollen legs may be due to injury, infection, malnutrition other underlying condition. Before you treat Winter, you need to have the cause diagnosed. This will require a physical exam with your veterinarian or a vet experience din treating reptiles. In the meantime, confirm proper environmental parameters, especially heat. Low temps can affect appetite and activity in reptiles and can compound stress. Feed appropriately sized prey, no bigger than the space between the eyes, that have been gut loaded for 24 hours prior to offering. You can feed crickets, phoenix worms or dubia roaches. Provide a powdered vitamin and calcium supplement as well. Supplement the diet with some Fluker's Repta+Boost to get additional calories and nutrition into him. Find it online or in the local Petco. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/flukers-reptaboost-insectavore-and-carnivore-high-amp-boost
