[QUOTE="Phil, post: 152961, member: 4151"] probably just something that has stressed her if there was no bald spot before. I have not seen that substrate before but it does look like wood shavings which I normally try to avoid. I use coco fibre for all my Ts. I don't think she is in premoult either. The o ly good thing about having a bald patch is that you can actually see it darken to grey/black as the new hairs form underneath. Yours is beige with no signs of premoult. I am saying "she", can you see any hooks on the unskderside of the front pair of legs or what look like boxing gloves on the end of the palps? Mature Males will often shed hairs as part if building the sperm web. I couldn't tell from the position of the spider if any of the hooks or palps were showing any indicators of what I have just described. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
