Thank uDon't worry it's just been kicking hairs. Sometimes they kick urticating hairs as a warning or it may be coming unto premoult.
Thank uIt is called an urt patch. As the spider exoskeleton ages, urticating hairs are lost and not replaced. The more stressed the spider is, the worse it gets. It is harmless, and will resolve after your T molts. Hope this helps.
Thank uHi
its telling you that is not happy with the wood shavings as substrate .
Thank u for this info i did juat that and went out and got him new bedding coco fiber 24 qt bag of it. Much appreciated for all the infoHi
on the more serious note .
The bold patch as mentioned above is nothing to worry about .It just kicked some hairs for any reason.
On the substrate subject
This species likes to burrow and dig about and really will appreciate deep slightly moist substrate.Coco fiber , plain top soil without any additives are good options or mixture of both.
Tarantulas don’t like loose fluffy ground under their feet.
