Okay, so just about five minutes ago, I noticed that my S. sp.8 had some kind of odd smudge near her head. She's been acting pretty much normal. Some nights I don't see her, but most nights she comes out and forages on the surface (especially if there's supplementary food, but even if there isn't), and is pretty active when she's not hiding/sleeping. When I picked her up, she did curl up, again, like she normally would (thankfully not like what some may remember from the issues with my O. guineensis).
I've taken a few photos with flash. Without flash it looks kind of just slightly off-colour? Almost like when something is marked with chalk or a very watered-down paint and you can see the normal colour through the chalk/paint?
It doesn't seem to be bothering her - she's not trying to rub it off or anything. Doesn't really seem aware that it's there.
Nothing too major has changed in her set-up between now and when I last saw her out. The temperature still isn't as consistently high as I'd like it because of the winter chill (though I've finally got it so it very rarely dips below 22C/72F and often gets up to 23-24C/75-76F), but the humidity seems to be doing better, as the substrate is staying damp. I added a large piece of climbing/hiding enrichment (it's a fake mangrove root that I added fake leaves/real moss to and anchored into the bottom, so it can be climbed or used as a hide), but that was almost two weeks ago, and it was properly sterilised before being added at around the same time I added in my springtails (I've got some standard itty-bitty ones, and then a smaller group of ones that are a larger species).
Any ideas?
(Okay it's mostly all with flash, and then I think the second-to-last one is without)
