Hi guys,
Yesterday I removed my AF H. pulchripes from her enclosure and put her into a temporary one. I did this because I saw an unmissable sight on her carapace. She seems to have something on legs R1 R2 too which looks related.
To me it looks like a dent or scrape with dried haemolymph on it. I just dont understand how she got it. All she had in her enclosure was a water dish, loads of substrate and a small bit of cork bark that she burrowed under. So a fall wouldnt be likely. I should have remembered to take pics but I forgot.
I threw out all the stuff in her old enclosure after searching to see for parasites and there was none. I tossed it away anyway incase I was missing something I wanted to be extra careful.
Maybe she has scratched herself along that little cork bark? It would have need to have some power behind her.
She is eating with no hassle and ate an adult dubia just before I snapped this photo for reference to problem area.
Here is the photo.
Anyway, I am posting this here to see if you guys could tell me what this is? I am just hoping it is nothing serious and it will be fixed come next moult. I am just paranoid as she is one of my favourites.
Thanks in advance.
