Just recently picked up this a. Moderatum. I only noticed the scab like thing on their abdomen after I got them all housed. Does this look like an impaction? I thought it might have also been a scabbed over wound as it was housed in an enclosure way too tal PXL_20220809_010414809.jpg l before I got it. I tried some q tips with warm PXL_20220809_010422268.jpg water and they didn't really do much.

Not impaction, possibly an injury of some sort, may go away after a moult, try not to overfeed in the meantime.

To not over feed, it’s already totally plump, it doesn’t need to eat again until it molts. So just keep a water dish full and wait until that happens.

I agree, to me this looks like a previous injury. Hopefully when it next molts out, it will recover.
