ill T? white spots

[henri_the_spider]

Hey guys,
recently I started Tarantula sitting for a couple whos currently not able to care for their T's.

And yesterday, when I was feeding them I noticed some weird white spots on abdomen and cephalothorax of one of the T's (unfortunately I dont know which species)...

I already googled and found nothing that looks alike... does anyone know what it could possibly be and how to treat it?

I also informed the owner, who said that it might be mould on the Tarantula (?) but I would be shocked if that would be even possible...
She also said, that she might dabb some alcohol on the T - so that it disappeares.
But that sound a little shady to me.. idk

can anyone help? :')

Hard to tell from your pictures. It don’t look very threatening to me. Looks like it can be wiped away with water and a q-tip. I would try that.

It could have pooped on itself (they can somehow do that)

The tarantula also looks like a Tlilocatl albopilosus.

Def dont dab it with alcohol, that's a terrible idea.

Sounds good! or maybe just wait till the next molt, that would be less scary haha

In real-life she looks a little less hairy than the Tlilocatl albopilosus - but idk
