Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nunua" data-source="post: 72537" data-attributes="member: 4947">The "flesh" you're seeing is tarantula's waist, called pedicel. Tarantulas don't (necessary) have hair on that part, so it might look like flesh or organs.Since it's not leaking it's not broken or anything, and that is always a good thing.Could it be that your LP happens to have a bit too long / weak pedicel to hold the weight of the abdomen properly?Also the abdomen is plump and healthy, so I don't think that you need to be concerned about her eating less. A bit smaller abdomen could even help her pedicel to hold the butt up a bit better.</blockquote>
