White spot on Florida Tailless Whip Spider mouth

[Scorpster1]

I had thrown a cricket in the enclosure a few days after I got it, and nothing was there after it had eaten. Now there is this white spot on its mouth. Should I be concerned?

I can't see the spot that seems to be bothering you

I think the OP is referring to the pale band between the eyes and the chelicerae?

Yes it just kinda appeared...

 

[pannaking22]

Is the band still there?

Yes should I be concerned

I'm honestly not sure. I haven't had that appear on any of my amblypygids. Hopefully one of the big amblypygid keepers will chime in.

Maybe the cricket he ate was a bit dusty/dirty? I wouldn't be too worried unless you see that it spreads to other parts of the body especially legs (and in that case it would be a fungus). At the moment it doesn't look too alarming and most likely it will go away when the whip spider molts (by the look of your specimen, looks like it will happen soon).

You could try dabbing the area with a moist q-tip to see if it is indeed, dust
