Caribena versicolor Juvenile/Sub-Adult Male

Rehoused my darling Willow tonight - into a much larger and more suitable home. It went without incident.
Is the bald patch from it kicking hairs? I have an adult male and it looks almost identical but I' be never noticed hair kicking.
 
This little guy has never rubbed/kicked hair - not even during his rehouse. He is a sweetie-pie! :)
 
Thank for the info Trenor.. what is the "mirror patch" from? Is it something left from the molting process?
 
@Jayvicularia A mirror patch is a patch of highly reflective, iridescent short hairs found on the rump of certain tarantula species. So when you take a photo from straight on it reflects more light and shows up like this. A lot of NW tarantulas have them and to my knowledge, OW Ts do not.
