White marks on dwarf tarantula labium

[Isopods others]

There seems to be a white mark on my tarantula on the underside to the right on it's labium and area where the legs join yo the midsection

The animal in question acts as usual, but it does concern me

It's impossible to know what has happened - if anything - without seeing the tarantula. Could you take some pictures? Preferably with an arrow or circle around the area of concern.

I can't make out anything through the webbing, even in the pic that you marked up. That said, a white spot could be feces, it could be a lesion or ulcer of some kind, or possibly the beginning of a cyst forming. If it's behaving normally, and is eating and drinking, all you can really do is observe it and hope that it is something that will be removed by the T during grooming, or will be gone after it's next molt. It would be a good idea to inspect the enclosure thoroughly to make sure there are no sharp or abrasive objects that could have potentially caused an injury.

Have to agree with NMTs. I'm going cross-eyed trying to find what it is I'm supposed to be looking for. There's not much you can do about it, regardless of what it is. As long as the T is acting normally that's great. Let's hope it disappears by itself.

I'm hoping it is something like that, it has a healthy appetite still so hopefully it's just a scrape

How long has it been like that? The more I look at it, the more I'm thinking it your T might have gotten some poop on itself...

I noticed it only a few days ago, less than a week,

Can’t tell

Absolutely can’t tell anything really in the photo, I agree it may just be sone fecal matter: more often than not white spots tend to be good ol poop!

I hope it's just me in a tizz over some poo

Mine was a fluke. I can't see the spot on yours either, but if it looked like what mine had, consider it nothing. Her spot has long gone.

Mold? Web? Fluff?

Just noticed today my A chalcodes has some odd looking white fluff on her leg. She grooms daily, so this has to be fairly new.. Any guesses on what this could be? I'm reluctant to just head in there with tongs and take it off.
