Hey,
Has anyone ever seen this before on any of your T’s? I noticed it this morning on my A. Metallica male looks like slits in his feet. Don’t see anything coming out of them, like liquid, but it’s got me concerned.

Most curios looking indeed!! Only thing that comes to my mind right off is maybe a prey item considering the location. Have no idea if T's get toe/ pedipalp eating bacteria. Is there anything abrasive in the enclosure??

I’ve got noticed any damage to his enclosure or sharp edges. His enclosure is from Juices Arthopods. I wonder if he did that on his cork bark? He’s acting fine. Just has me worried.
Cork bark is in every enclosure I have except the Dubia Roach colony. Yes there's cork bark in with my hissers as well. Lol. Don't think I ever seen any T trench foot from it. Still has me wondering if some feeder maybe?? Just hope all goes well with your spood!
