...let me quote one of my first posts in this thread to start us off: The most obvious symptom of bacterial/fungal infection I can think of is a cyst because this is where most antibiotics and antifungals are used for mammals. A spider rubs up against something, gets a microscopic cut and the...

Cyst, they'll molt it out

Yep. Looks like cyst. I had few before on Ts. What i did: i was applying Neosporin with antibiotic on that cyst from time to time. And it was gone after next molt.

Any idea of the cause?

That's a cyst, it can get either better or worse with each molt. Only time will tell.

Okay this shows the issue more clearly. Okay so there is nothing you are really going to be able to do except highly reduce the amount and frequency of feeding or stop completely. You tarantula already looks pretty sufficiently plump and or very little to go until it has enough. With an injury...

It's very difficult to get a side view, she wasn't cooperating. But these show the cyst in good contrast to the mirror patch. I was hoping maybe it was from a burn that would heal over time. But I believe it may be a cyst or tumor.

It's obvious in the freshly molted pic that there is an issue. Yes, tarantulas can get cysts and tumors, and if you search the forums you can find numerous examples. No treatment available that I'm aware of, and it seems to ultimately be fatal about half the time - the cyst will rupture or...

If it is eating then it should be fine and will probably recover on her next molt cycle. It seems like it is either a cyst or an injury, but it looks more like an injury to me. Either something caused it such as falling from excess height, a burn, decoration causing injury, or something along...

Yeah, you're right unfortunately, so I guess it's just fingers crossed. Thanks everyone for the replies. Got a better pic of it today, looks like it's sticking out.. This is the clearest I've seen it so far since I was lucky to catch her out of her web when I got this.

Unfortunately regardless if it was something serious like a cyst there’s nothing different you could really do for it anyway but that being said Caribena love to get poop everywhere so it is most likely that or possibly rubbed of setae

It’s probably a cyst I had a t survive a molt with one once but it later escaped and re damaged the cyst and died . When keeping larger Ts get a secure lid . Yep , sadly tarantulas just aren’t armored like some of their cousins like scorpions.

Chiming in to say that it looks like some sort of lump from within the tarantula such as a cyst or cancer

Looks like a healing injury or a "cyst" if you search that term on here you'll find lots of people documenting their experiences. Usually the tarantula survives. I would remove anything from the enclosure that could possibly scrape the area and make it worse, keep the water dish full, and don't...

...then, it has been growing visibly. I tried to do some research and additionaly scrolled through this forum and most I could find was about these cysts/tumours. I'm just not certain that this is the case for my T. stirmi. Some symptoms/observations match, other don't. She behaves completely...

...and behaving normally, but I'm deeply concerned that her abdomen could rupture at any time. It almost seems to me like it could be a mass or cyst of some kind. If I lose her I will be devastated. She's a very special spider, and my favorite. I know realistically that there's not much I can...

...available at all times? Yes 4) Feeder item background information Crickets and superworms, always bought. 5) When did the first signs of any Cyst/lesion/growth appear? 2 months ago, slight lopsidedness on dorsal side of abdomen 6) Did the specimen ever recover? N/A 7) If it recovered, did...

Interesting thread, very similar issue, but I doubt I'd be able to get any sort of solution on a P. metallica, not that I even am sure I'd want to. Hopefully, since she is an arboreal, the cyst will have minimal contact with the sub and anything else that would infect it.

Remove worm now. When time to offer food, smash worm's head and offer it again. With the cyst, feed less and keep water available. Too soon to feed, bro.

Looks like a cyst- feed sparingly why is a worm in there???
