Tarantula with white near spinnerets

[RIOnJJ]

here's the update. My tarantula has feces on her spinnerets and most people thought that it was just left over poop and not impaction. This morning when I went to refill her water, I realized that when she walked she was moving very slowly and her legs appeared to be collapsing beneath her. The were all at an angle and she was not walking on the tips of them but more on the sides. She also was kicking hairs constantly and she has 2 small bald patches located on each side of her spinnerets. One of her spinnerets is not laid up against her abdomen as the other one is and it sticking out at an angle. She has had no more feces on her since Sunday, and yesterday day
she was drinking water. Should I be concerned? Do you think this is more then just left over poop on her abdomen? Thank you all for your help.

I would be concerned now. I’d add more moisture to a section of her environment and see if she gravitates there. If you can’t see a plug to try to soften, there really isn’t a lot you can do.

its a waiting game. It could be anything.

keep monitoring. Maybe get it in a very tight clear catch cup where you can observe and see if anus seems blocked.

Impaction, how rare / common is this?

Past few weeks, I’ve seen a bunch of impaction related questions posted on board, and it got me curious. Luckily, I haven’t come across with this issue personally yet, but really, how rare / common is this, if at all? With my search with a word ‘impaction’, I’ve got only ONE real case scenario...

no more white stuff and they are still webbing, I still see her produce webbing on a daily bases. She is walking fine now and he spinnerets seems to not lay up against her abdomen still. She is walking fine and is no longer lethargic.
