Tarantula - Red Spot

My tarantula (zebra striped knee) has this new red spot underneath her. It worries me cause she is my baby and I have had her for 2 years.

Super healthy, moves a lot. Eats 3-4 crickets a week, can hold her body up fine. Super fast when moving. I just want to know I just barely noticed it tonight.

Thats is just part of their anatomy. Not sure what it is called but it is normal. Can we also get a pic of the full enclosure? The substrate doesn't look suitable for this sp (Aphonopelma seemani), which is fossorial, so it will need damp cocofiber or organic topsoil and about 5-6 inches of it. Those wood chips can be sharp and rupture its abdomen or create drag injuries while it is moving around in its enclosure.
