So I decided to do a photoshoot of some of my spiders and only upon viewing them did I notice that my A. Geniculata was missing a little bit of the white "fur" underneath its eyes, where the chelicerae connect. It molted a little while ago with seemingly no issue, and has been active and eating with no cause for alarm, I just haven't really seen this before. I was wondering if anyone else has? The reddish-white "trim" just seems to fade away once it hits it's right side. I'm assuming they just didn't make it through the molt and all is well, but if it's an indication of a bigger issue, I'd like to know…

And before you mention the water dish, I cleaned it all up shortly after. It seems to choose it as it's toilet without fail :sarcasm:

It behaves normal otherwise? It eats obviously - wouldn't worry. Next molt will fix that most likely. As long as the spider isn't affected by it, there's no need to worry.
