Normal pedipalp, or a deformity?

[poodude289]

My tarantula is able to stretch its pedipalp out pretty far, this kind of stuff concerns me being new to the hobby and Idk if it's normal. I actually thought a pedipalp was missing until I counted 10 appendages. What I painted as number 5 is what concerned me. I didn't know pedipalps could go out that far and be put like that? I noticed earlier its water dish was disturbed and a plant was knocked over. Then I saw it in its hide standing tall and I guess that started to worry me too.

Its also had its abdomen raised today quite a lot without disturbance and high on its legs.

Is 6 the same as 5 when extended? Looks normal to me otherwise.

A lot of terrestrial species do this, very normal.

I've never noticed it extending 6

I love it when they go into stilt mode.
All looks normal to me, probably just having a stretch.
