My G. rosea Jude is a mature adult male. The ultimate molt happened a little over 2 years ago. I noticed this black patch on his carapace recently and I'm not sure if it's just hair that fell off because he's old or if it's a cause for concern? Let me know if you guys have seen this before.

NIce pics!!! Your T is old. He has done well to live for 2 years after his final molt. The black spot on his carapace is just a sign of aging---like wrinkles. He sure is a beauty. How long have you had him? He seems quite gentle with you. I hope he goes on for a long time.
