Need Help Pt. 2

[SteelCooked]

Hello gang! I'm in need of assistance once again... About two months ago I posted asking for help with my T lady about an unknown spot on her abdomen. I thought it could be fungus but more adept tarantula keepers agreed it was loose urticating hairs. A few months later, here I am again with the problem seemingly progressed. Please let me know if I am paranoid and this is in fact loose urticating hairs but would appreciate some more input.

Here is the original picture of the spot:

Two months later here is the spot again:

The only additional information I have is that once while holding her she rubbed the area, not flicking, but gently rubbed what looked like greyish fungus off. I am kicking myself I didn't get a picture of it but I will update this post if it happens again.

Thanks so much for everything and I look forward to your replies!

That is a bald spot, unless I am very much mistaken. Many tarantulas end up with these spots when they rub away the bristles. The pinkish color of the "skin" underneath indicates that your T is in intermolt...or not approaching a molt, in other words. Very pretty tarantula, I have one just like it.

Thanks so much for the closure! I feel much much better now.
