Message: <blockquote data-quote="SteelCooked" data-source="post: 22221" data-attributes="member: 2417">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: <img src="http://www.tarantulaforum.com/attachments/20140122_202409-jpg.4149/" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Two months later here is the spot again:[ATTACH=full]4582[/ATTACH] 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!</blockquote>
