Brown on back of my T

[M111tch]

Hello,

I would like some information.

I have a Tliltocatl alboposilum and this one at the rear which is depigmented and which changes little by little with the size of this one.

It is black and its rear end loses hair as it progresses with a passage to brown. is it significant of an approaching moult or something else to know?

I also have an LP which did that to me and which disappeared after its moult

Cordially

Hard time following what you’re asking. Probably preparing for molt.

Agreed on both counts.

OP: if you mean that the Tarantula's abdomen is becoming darker and is losing hair, that's a sign that it is likely to molt soon.

What you are seeing is the bald spot...the skin beneath is now exposed, it can be peachy to brown in color, and once it is pre molt, it will eventually blacken.

This is exactly what happening ! Is it a prmeolt signe?

A bald spot is most certainly not a sign of pre molt, just a sign it kicked hairs. When the skin turns black, that's your sign.

Could be premolt if dark but sounds like stress, pics of enclosure?

Next week I ll buy a 30x30x30 terra, i ve just have this one from a friend who buyed a T too soon without parent rights.

Hope my little terra are ok.
They do 23cm(l)x15(L)x17(H)

Can’t see the spider in the pics to tell the size. Those enclosures would probably be fine. Fill them up about half way with coco fiber, top soil, or peat moss. Get rid of the large chunky substrate.

She s makes 6cm max.

Do as @MrTwister stated, exo terras are awful for T’s. That setup is unsuitable at the moment (and explains the bald spot, it’s definitely stress) but with a little tweaking it’ll be perfect.
