Help with G. Pulchripes

[Tmobo]

My little 1 inch Pulchripes has this red bump on the underside of the abdomen. I am wanting to know if anyone knows what it might be and if it is a problem. She molted last week and since then she has been out instead of in her burrow where she usually is. She has been in the curled up defensive posture most of the time. I fed her a cricket today and after I did that is when I noticed it. Sorry the picture is not the best but the best I can get. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks
