...On) (Full Setup - Perspex On) (Ese in/at Home) Obviously the yellow spot is the thing causing concern, interested in confirmation of cyst and ideas on how to best treat my critter if it is indeed dark days ahead. However, now you have seen my setup then please @Dorifto and anyone else...

That is a cyst, and honestly there isn't a lot of information about it. The only thing you can do is hope that its next molt will either reduce it or get rid of it. When it comes to cysts, it either gets better or worse for each molt that it has. So I wish you the best and I hope it all goes...

My curly hair has what looks to be the same spot @viper69 also told me to feed less. I realized why, the one time I fed her it started to bleed so i just covered it with cornstarch to stop the bleeding. I am now just patiently waiting for her to molt to see if it will fix it ,and only feed her...

Wow that fast @viper69 ! Interesting that you say cyst, I'll try and get another photo later on in the day when things get more active but it is certainly a 'perfect blemish' as opposed to a smear or abrasion pattern I would assume goes with fungal spreads. Is it just bad luck or something I...

Looks like either setae worn off, or potentially what we call a “cyst”. I’m inclined to go with the latter. Image too blurry for me to get a better idea. In either case there’s nothing you can do, for the latter feed less.

Thanks not as educated on tarantula terminology as i would like to be 😂

Tarantula medicine is not even in its infancy, fetal maybe, almost nonexistent. In the hobby there is a catchall term "cyst" that people use for lumps that look like that. Cysts seem to be most common on the abdomen (an area where the exoskeleton is weak) in places that are vulnerable to...

...a friend today that couldn't keep her anymore so there was a log in that I took out. Dont think it was it tho .I will definitely be monitoring her. One question does a cyst lead to early death? I am sad for the beautiful girl but i will definitely be getting more T.albopilosus if she passes.

Hey guys. I've searched in here already and only found a thread from 2012 about cysts, but it wasn't too much informative, imo. I don't know much about this problem, all I've ever read about it, treated cysts as "mysterious" and I want to know if there are other threads other the ones I found...

...to higher risk issues. but you cannot verify how the blister originally occurred or even that it was directly related to obesity. Ive seen those cyst like spots on ts that were not obese. Your ts injury could have easily been heat mat related or related to a fall with the previous owner.

It's a cyst or some other form of growth, it might go away with subsequent moults but it might get worse, nothing you can do except try not to overfeed (this will reduce the likelihood of the cyst/growth causing a rupture).

Ok I'll try to feed her every two maybe three weeks does this sound good?

There's nothing you can do that I'm aware of. We call them cysts, but honestly never seen a biopsy to determine if they are fluid filled like a true cyst would be in humans etc. I can't think of anything that would cause their exoskeleton to bulge out other than fluid over time, I'm not an...

The issue is she's seven inches and probably wont molt again for a very long time so I don't know whay to do. I was ironically going to try and feed her more to try and force a molt to try and eliminate the cyst. But I don't know what to do and I'm scared for my girl

...it appears there's a bald spot on the left side of the abdomen in that image. I can't say for sure, but I can see how one may think it's a cyst. It would be easier if I had the T in front of my, I'm sorry. Or a closeup image in focus. It may be one, it certainly isn't the pedicle. IF it is...

...pedicles are more dorsal I've looked up tons of images on Google and none have what's on her side which is why I'm worried It looks like a cyst from images just in its early stage Well if it is a molt the usual thing that happens is they molt and they are fine the issue is mine is a seven...

Yes moisture is bad it is what will keep mites multiplying. Mites are actually arachnids. They are kind of the next step up in evolution. No OP didn't mention color but I'm willing to bet either white or tannish as those are the most common. Either way mites infesting directly on the T will...

...a feeder bug. But ya, getting rid of mites is mainly just removing moisture. Mites are pretty much land crabs. They die super fast or form a cyst to survive the drought. The numbers will drop with low moisture though. The longer the better. Not tons of mites that are predatory to tarantulas...

...home colony. Occasionally hornworms as a treat. Roaches on a diet of nutritional yeast and raw vegetables. 5) When did the first signs of any Cyst/lesion/growth appear? Discovered after death, but behavior had been abnormal for several months. 6) Did the specimen ever recover? No. 7) If it...

Hi guys! i’m super new with tarantula keeping, got this guy almost two weeks ago and it molted a few days after i got it. i fed it today after a week and i’m just noticing this lump on its abdomen that wasn’t there before? the tarantula is maybe 1.5”, so still small, but i’m suddenly super...
