Tonight while feeding I saw something new to me. My M. balfouri has some black spots on his carapace. He's recently been rehoused from a communal to a smaller individual enclosure after his brother matured and was loaned for pairing. He's fed crickets once a week and kept relatively dry with a water bowl. Can anyone tell me what this is?

This is just exposed exo skeleton where tge setae has worn off.

Nothing to worry about.

Just to add that those will disappear after he molts and the new setae come in. I notice this most often on Ts due for a molt.
