Black spot on mexican red knee sling

[LILPH1LL]

i have a mexican red knee sling and its got a black spot on the back of its abdomen. is this normal??

Sounds like an upcoming molt.

Urticating hair patch.

If its just a single spot, than yeah, the urticating patch. The abdomen will be uniformly dark if it was an upcoming molt.

its like a shiny black spot on the back of abdomen, about half the size of it. is it anything to worry about??

 

[Hobo]

Yeah it's the urticating patch.
It is part of their anatomy and nothing to worry about.

 

[LILPH1LL]

aaah thats a good sign! thanks

 

[Kazaam]

If it's that small it's an urticating patch.

): I was kinda looking forward to a molt video.

 

[LILPH1LL]

its nothing to worry about though is it?

Op, you're mentioning that the black spot is also shiny leads me to believe your t is even closer to impending molt than if there were no associated patina. Just kick back and watch- although it still might be a looong wait if you chose to do it that way! Good luck! T
