hi! My Arizona blonde molted in the last couple of months. Before it did it had a bare spot on its abdomen. After the molt it was still there and only getting bigger. I’ve not noticed any strange behavior and it’s appetite is there. I apologize for the green lighting, my flashlight needs new batteries, but you can see the spot. I don’t know what it is or what to do. Help please!

It looks like she is kicking urticating hairs. That can be stress or just lining the entrances to the hide or burrow. While unsightly, it's harmless. Any new world tarantula can do this.

Is your spider getting daylight? Or other light during the day?

Hey, can you post some pics of the full setup? It looks like there is a few things that should be done to improve living, like there should be way more substrate in there it looks like there is about 1/4 inch deep in you’re pic and what is it that’s getting used looks quite rough, you don’t want youre T to get injured if it falls. I wouldn’t believe what you read in books it’s mostly outdated information as the Tarantula hobby is forever evolving
