hi all, iv just noticed that my B.Auratum spiderling has a black spot(almost as big as her abdomen) on her abdomen, it looks like velvet, when shes in her burrow she spends alot of time just on the walls of the glass, does that mean anything?
iv got no experience with spiderling molts, though i have two of them.
any ideas?

thanks

b. auratum about to molt

My 1" b. auratum just molted last week. I noticed a black spot like you had mentioned. I was a little worried at first but I searched the posts and found what I was looking for. Within a week she had molted. Just be sure there is access to water in the enclosure. The day of or the day before she had actually molted I saw her outside of her hide drinking the water I had dripped down the side if her KK.
