Underside abrasion help?

[Ultum4Spiderz]

I rarely see this happening. I’ve changed the substrate already i noticed the spinnerets looked roughed up a bit too and discolored was some minor mold.
It was on 100% Eco earth.

A large abdomen may create more drag and potentially more damage. Avoid overfeeding. Sinking the water containers may help as well. Chunks of wood in the substrate may also be a problem. The message: avoid abrasive materials and edges.

Wait, didn't you return this specimen at one point or am I mis-remembering that?

No that was a Costa Rican zebra Aphonopelma seemanni , oddly rug burn in same exact spot ! And the s cal also looks male but I kept it, the spider basically exchanged it for.

oh yeah that thread.
I accidentally deleted the pic so I used one of my current spiders that had the same issue. Didn’t realize I had it saved by posting it.

Second one came that way it was never housed, I returned it for the s cal. We’re so you buy a good sifter I tried dollar tree accidentally bought a food strainer oops. Don’t know if it’s any good for sifting frass. Oddly enough the abrasive stuff must had been the 100% Eco earth plus being a tad overweight.

I'd probably not feed that one again until it molts. That looks extremely uncomfortable.

Now a different one I got from the petstore but didn’t see any abrasions on just up and died for no reason I can see. Probably due to being wc? Probably shouldn’t get anything there again.
the t I made this thread about is still doing fine but hasn’t molted yet.
It is fat

Update unfortunately it stopped moving. And isn’t molting . I just filled the water dish 2 days ago . And wet substrate a week and a half ago but it dried out.
