Any other issues? Could just be poop but I'm no expert

Does it look like little bumps? I can't see it real well in the photo, it just looks shiny. If it's bumpy, it could be mites.

I see that commonly on my arboreals when they defecate on the wall face down, chalky white like that is most likely just poop.

 

[NIght Wolf]

Hi It looks like a white powder, and there is no movement to make it look bump or anything, and the tarantula is eating and moving around as normal,
but I tride to clen it with a damp cloth and it did not come off at all

 

[JumpingSpiderLady]

I'm sure Flexzone is right and it's just poop.

So you guys definitely don't think its parasite or anything like that, that I have to worry about?

Okay, so let me get this straight. If it isn't bad enough that the little beasties smear their poop all over the walls of their enclosures, but they rub their mouths in it too? Good grief.

No one can provide you a 100% guarantee on that w/out a medical examination.

Problem child with a potty mouth... I thought Ts were supposed to be easy to deal with!

 

[NIght Wolf]

Would you guys at least be able to rule out Nematodes?

Just to scare you!

Hi Guys
just want to find out if I can rule out Nematodes?
if not what are the procedures to follow to get this ID-ed properly

 

[CindyMoon]

Is he eating?

Viper69 said earlier that basically he couldn't rule out anything medically from a picture.
If he's eating and drinking count it as a win.
If it's nematodes it's a loss.

Seems like there's a couple of people tonight from S. Africa ....

 

[NIght Wolf]

Yes he is eating

 

[Crone Returns]

He's eating poop!!!

 

[CindyMoon]

Yes he is eating

Then I'd stop worrying for now and maybe just keep an eye on it. Make sure it feels good and has clean water It's probably just poop, but I have heard of a case where a tarantula kinda just got sick and ended up throwing up, but then recovered just fine.
