Our Brachy vagans (Fuzzy Wuzzy, about 2 yrs old) has many small white bald "spots" (2-3 mm) on the bottom of her abdomen, does anyone know what they are?
She seems otherwise healthy, except that she came out of her burrow (actually it collapsed on her last weekend) and she has been spending her time on the surface up against the wall of the enclosure. I use coco fiber substrate.
close up photo of spots on the bottom of her abdomen (head is at upper left). I took this thru the side of the cage so there is a lot of coco fiber stuck on the plexiglass. you can see three spots here but there are some on the other side too. it's the weirdest thing.
here is a better picture showing the spots on the underside of her abdomen. She's climbing up over a Petri dish (which was her water bowl before it went vertical a few weeks ago and she was using it as a shelter). In this photo her head would be facing up.

Thank you!
