Globule

[Will]

So I was trying to peak into my GBB's extensive burrow to see where her exuviae is that she shed two weeks ago. I can just about see it but it's going to have to stay there I think. I don't want to ruin her burrow and webbing to get it. Anyway, whilst I was looking I noticed a small white sticky looking globule/bead stuck to the Web inside her burrow, slightly smaller than a pea. Anyone got any ideas what this might be?

A photo would surely help in this case.

Could it be feces (although they usually go outside their dens)?

It would, however I can only just see it myself. A camera would not pick it up.

No I don't think so. Doesn't look like the usual feces, and as you say she usually goes outside the burrow (on the glass!).

Left over food perhaps? This really vary from spider to spider so could be.

Ah, yes...I just so LOVE when they spatter the glass.

not sure what it is. my son's GBB does the same thing. We have little globs of white something scattered around the enclosure. I think it's poop as it's chalky when dry. My son thought it was nematodes but under a microscope there's nothing in it. So now he thinks it's target pooping, like it's aiming at the cricket that keeps jumping away and won't let him catch it. I'll see if i can get any pics of it tonight, but like will said, they're small, like the size of a sewing pin head.

The white chalky stuff is tarantula poop.

Yeah, it's definately not that. The nearest picture I could find is the one I've attached.
