Never seen this on any of my t's so can't give any advice sorry ;(

I don't have any experience with mites but could that be it?

 

[clutchnasty]

idk thats why i am here

 

[clutchnasty]

if it was, how do i remove it?

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

Best to do if its mites
- 1st step remove T
- 2nd step clean out the old enclosure hot water etc
- 3rd step add new substrate
Then add the T back,see if that has helped. Always take out uneaten prey,if you use bark or plants just keep an eye on the enclosure for mites. Do not wet the enclosure too much,drying out the enclosure could also solve the mite issue but usually it will persist.

im pretty clean with my pets, so i dont think its mites. plus i just recently cleaned it.

could it be a sign of molting? :S

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

Could be as well,I've seen this on a few occasions.

 

[clutchnasty]

i want to gently rub it with a paint brush, but it might just make things worse? :s

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

I've had large females just before a molt,rub the abdomen with their hind legs causing similar looks and removing abdomen hair as well. I would just leave it,see how the specimen is in a day or two.

I've tried to zoom in,from what I can see almost looks like human dandruff. So I can't see any mites,but that's from how much I could zoom in.

[Martin Oosthuysen]
