I've just found my T got a wound(?) Between her abdomen and back. I am not sure what it is? But can tell something like blood just on there.

If it's still leaking, dust with a little cornflour to dry it up.

That T looks like it's going into a death curl how long has it been like this once this happens you haven't got long to get it in a ECU

Must admit, does not look promising I am sorry to say. As per @Enn49 advice, try dusting with cornflour. Does look likke legs befinning to curl as well as per @terror_corpz post. Good luck to you and the spider.,fingers crossed.

The curled legs, not a death curl yet, could be just stress if it's wounded.
I wonder if from a fall. Landed on tail end if andomen and stressed the pedicel. As Enn saus, could be a stress response.

Had a G. 'North' arrive with a freshly list leg! She sat like that for nearly one week before rallying.

I took this pic when she was grooming, so the curl leg might be that case. I've found this since last weekend, but she's quite active I mean she still eats and makes net. I am not sure that she's going to molt or not because her rear hair is not bald. Just hope she's still fine huhu :( I will look up the site which is about this case. Thank you for giving those advices

Yup. Its not a wound, but it is a little red..I can see how you might mistake it for one. No fluid is leaking though?
No, no fluid is leaking. Just bit red thing on there, but I think it's not a wound anymore lol. Perhaps it is just her flesh or something like that.
