[QUOTE="Vlad805, post: 144777, member: 28818"] Hello I'm new to the group. I actually joined because I'm slightly worried about my new Mexican Red Knee. I have had her since last October and she has molted once in my care roughly a month or so ago. Just yesterday I noticed a strange looking spot appear on her abdomen. When I first got her she had a prominent bald spot (probably due to kicking from stress as well as getting ready to molt) and this spot doesn't really match the coloration of that said bald spot. I was hoping you guys can take a look at it and let me know if it's something you have seen in the past. I was told by someone that it looks like it could be a cancer... I really hope not because I just lost my beloved Rose Hair after 10+ years of owning her and I was heartbroken. Below is her husbandry Substrate: coconut husk Hides: tree bark (not sure what kind) Food source: store-bought crickets Hydration: filtered water Temperature range: 70-80 degrees (70 on cold side and 80 on warm side) Humidity: 50ish No pesticides used in the house at all. Also another sidenote is that she has been very active lately! At first she spent most of her time in her den, but recently has been moving around all over the enclosure and when climbing up the glass. She's been eating, but recently started refusing meals.
