T.Stirmi white pigments on abdomen

[Erca]

Hi, my Theraphosa stirmi has white piglets on its belly. is this okay? It doesn't look sad or angry and there are no photos of t.stirmi without this pigment on the internet. Is the tarantula okay? Sorry for the bad English, I'm from the Czech Republic.

The picture isn't very clear, although it doesn't seem to be effecting it. Is it still eating and drinking?

 

[Erca]

Yes, she is drinking eating. At night she goes walk outside house, but when i make noise she fast go to the house. She nod look sick, but i i scared of white pigment in his body. On photo looks healthy? Thanks for answer.

Photos don't show Under Side of T. stirmi.

However it may have picked up some excrement while wandering.

Best Wishes to You and Yours,

Photos not good at all, can’t help

 

[Erca]

Sorry. Is it better? Is she looks healthy?

 

[Ratmosphere]

Almost looks like some kind of powder, weird...

 

[Erca]

What can i do? I want my tarantula still a live. Is it a dangerous?

 

[TheraMygale]

Its hard to tell.

the photo isnt good quality enough to make a claim.

its not to dismiss you, but if you can get a really close photo it will help. Don’t over zoom, just get real close.

looks healthy to me. I don’t see the white spots.

The setae on this species is huge, when it’s rubbed off and builds up in abdomen it can look white. Could be that or something else, need clearer pic to tell. Nothing alarming from those photos. If wild caught, stirmi are often covered in mites, could be them or their poop. Or mycosis, if kept too soggy. Probably no cause for concern but need a close up photo

It actually looks like water minerals that are dried up.

 

[Smotzer]

Yes I agree with @Tarantuland ib that it looks like dislodged tufts of setae on the abdomen. But the photos are possibly not the clearest, but it’s the simplest and most logical answer that I’d routinely expect.

 

[Erca]

Ano, souhlasím s @Tarantuland ib, že to vypadá jako uvolněné chomáče chomáčů na břiše. Ale fotografie možná nejsou nejjasnější, ale je to nejjednodušší a nejlogičtější odpověď, kterou bych běžně očekával.

Still can't really see properly, but I agree it looks like dislodged setae.
