I see a spot on my B smithi

[tapkoote]

after I down loaded a feeding vid, I noticed a spot that wasn't there after the last molt. Anyone got any ideas. https://flic.kr/p/243uGoE

Bald spot from hair kicking, no worries.

I agree. Maybe something spooked her.

don't worry about it at the moment. My B. hamorii (ex smithi) has a bald spot. However i would check every now and then for anything else.

I noticed a very similar spot on mine just a few days ago. I just posted on here with pictures of mine as well. I am hoping it's premolt hair kicking as well and not anything sinister... Some breeder on Instagram spooked me and told me that it looks like some form of cancer and told me his smithi has the same thing and it's persistent after molt. Please keep me posted on whether yours goes away or not or if it grows.

It's urticating hair.
