C. cyaneopubescens growth.

[Aubrey Sidwell]

I have a 2" female C. cyaneopubescens that developed a growth of some sort right in the middle of the sternum. It appeared right after her last molt. She does not have the same appetite she had before her last molt but she does eat once in awhile. Has anyone dealt with something similar and do you believe it's something parasitic or possibly something left over from the last molt? It was a tough photo to get with any clarity but you get the idea.

if she was disturbed after her molt and tried to flick hair on her soft abdomen before she had time to harden up it might have caused this. almost like a blister. but i'm not too sure. there are so many more experianced people on here that you might wanna wait and hear what other people think before you take that as gospel, but its just a suggestion

Can't be this. It's on the sternum (the spot in the middle of the coxae on the underside of the carapace). I honestly can't say what it is, but it looks more "parasitic" than some sort of injury.

I have never seen this, I would like to know myself. Good luck, I hope it's not a danger.
