Chile rose problems

[Danny96]

I need some help, I just got my first tarantula (rose hair) a few weeks ago and I've noticed a red liquid like bubble by its mouth/fags and I've never seen this before. Could someone tell me what it is? I don't think it's venom.

 

[spidey noob]

its most likely just substrate mixed with fluids, how long has it been like this ? & is there any thing else wrong with your T ?

I've never seen that before..it's kind of blurry, can you get a better shot of it? And has your G rosea eaten anything yet? is she calm, and settling in, or is she restless?

That's the only decent one I could get, but she hasn't been eating lately but I think it's because she's coming close to molt

I've only just noticed it today

been doing some research and another forum says that this is normal cleaning of fangs
and they occasionally regurgitate liquid sometimes including bits of its last meal, hence the color.
Now , I don't know if this is truth but many folks over there said theirs did it also.
I'll continue to look round and see what I can find.

I'm not sure what that is, Danny..I'd do like Kymura is doing and research threads and posts on more populated forums. Often the only data we can get is from other keepers. It's probably something minor, if your spider is acting normal, but they don't give us many signs early on if something is wrong. Often, spiders bought at petstores are wild caught and have wild spider issues not seen much from captive bred spiders. My only suggestion is to keep an eye on her, and see what you can find by researching it. Hope this helped a little, but Kymura can probably help you more than me at this point.

@Kymura
what u have read abought them cleaning there self is 100% wright

@Danny96
there are 3 main reasons they have fluid round there mouths !
1, cleaning them self (left over food / substrate from a feeder)
2, damage to the mouth / fangs
3, nematodes (internal parasite)
in the pics there is no sign of damage & no sign of worms in the mouth area, so i most likely just cleaning its self.
m g,rosea done exactly the same thing the day i got her !
