my h. gigas has webed up her burrow on both ends and has been in there for almost 6 weeks. which i know they can take that long or longer to molt.
what im concerned about is that i checked on her last night by useing a flashlight and looking up from the bottom of the tank i can see in her burrow. when i was checking her out i noticed a white area. her sternum is pure white. but only the sternum. the rest of her looks perfectly normal and she was moving around.
so should i be concerned about this white spot. it doesnt really look like mold but im at a total loss of what it could be but ive never looked at her bottom side before a molt so i also cant say its never been there before.
i really dont want to force her out to get a better look but i dont want to ignore it if its possibly something life threatening. thanks for any advise.
