My Avic.sp "guyana" moltet a few days back, and was out for a stroll today. There seems to be something on its abdomen. At first i thought it was old molt still attached, but after looking a bit closer and also taking a few pics, this seems like a wound?
Its not wet and does not leak any fluid. The spider looks as plump as it can be just after a molt, and other than the "wound" itself, i cant find any signs that anything else is off.

Do i need to worry?
And if so, what do i do about this. Just wait and see...?

If it's not leaking fluid, leave it alone. Not really anything you can do anyway. I'd personally suggest not letting it get obese though, just in case there is some damage to the area, so you don't face further and worse scarring (if that is what it is) in future molts.
