Is that an injury?

[PhilMcWonder]

Checked in on my Aphonopelma Seemanni today and noticed this.




What is that? If its an injury, how did that happen? there is nothing sharp inside her enclosure.

 

[cold blood]

looks like a sprouting plant

Spider hemolymph is usually clear or close to it, so I'd say it's probably not an injury. As to what it actually is though, I don't know

Could it be prey that you didn't know was in there? It's an odd colour to be coming from your tarantula.

 

[Goopyguy56]

I don't think it is spider blood.

 

[Tenebrarius]

looks like a lima bean to me.

It was a plant... but whyyyyy.

Your spider is trying to be healthier so it is eating salad

It was a plant... but whyyyyy.

All sorts of little flora and fauna are going to pop up in your enclosures, it’s a nature thing.

Because nature? I would have left it to see what it grew into!

And you could have had the world's first agriculturally successful captive spider.

Soon enough we'll start to hear about world's first vegan spider

Plenty of people have plants in their enclosures lol

You haven't heard of the little jumping spider that eats fruit, eh?

Yes, but based on location and size of the plant, the tarantula clearly planted this one. Living plants are normally tended by the human.

Not accidental plants I wish I could remember who posted a little group of mushrooms that sprouted in a T enclosure...
