Help! Black spot?!

[Payden King]

Okay.. I've had this rose hair for about a year and this is the first time I've seen this.. What is that black spot on her abdomen?!

 

[Payden King]

This was her when I first got her.. She's molted one time since then back in February I do believe. Her butt has also gotten significantly bigger and I have actually been feeding her less.. Not sure what's going on there either.

im going to say its from kicking hairs

 

[Payden King]

The black spot? Isn't it too high up? She's not bald there and she never kicks :/

 

[Payden King]

I know she has like a goldish spot but she has that weird black spot too. I've never seen it on any of my ts. I am a bit of a hypochondriac too though :/

 

[Logan D]

my rose hair had something like that she just recently molted and the spot has gotten smaller

 

[Payden King]

That's why I'm worried. Her gold spot got smaller when she molted.. But the black spot wasn't there until just recently. She hasn't molted since February.

 

[Logan D]

hhhmmm does she kick hairs alot is there anything she could have rubbed up against tht could have caused tht

 

[Payden King]

No :/ she never kicks hairs. Today I tried filling up her water dish and that's the first time she's kicked hairs in about 10 months and she's super lazy and doesn't move or climb or anything. I can't think of anything that would have happened. She eats when I feed her and doesn't turn her nose up at it. I really have no idea what it is..

 

[Logan D]

weird

 

[Payden King]

I know!! I'm super worried it might be bad :/

 

[Logan D]

it could cuz a upcoming molt

 

[HungryGhost]

Relax, she's fine.

 

[Talmon Glidden]

I could be wrong, but isn't that just a mirror patch? Most species in the Grammostola genus have that.

 

[Talmon Glidden]

Oh, or are you talking about the spot behind the mirror patch. that would make more sense.

 

[Payden King]

Yes in talking about the black spot behind the mirror patch

Huh, that's weird looking. When something seems off about one of my herps I usually have to go by the philosophy that if they're eating and their activity hasn't changed, I don't worry too much. Otherwise I'd end up pulling all my hair out.

I know!! I'm the same way!! I saw that and just started freakin out lol!! Never have I seen a black spot like that. But like I said.. She couldn't have injured herself because she's a lazy bum and doesn't move unless provoked. So I'm just gonna watch out for her to molt soon and hope that's what it is!!
