    Brown spot on spider's back

    So before shedding Arnold developed a brown line down her back. It's not a burn, there's nothing in the tank that could burn her and I keep a twice daily check on the temps with an accurite and a laser thermometer. 93 in her hide and 83 on the other end. She shed and it is still there. It doesn't feel any different and doesn't seem to bother her. Could it be just a normal small change in color that a BP can go through throughout their lifetime? I've heard that some may change colors in spots, maybe I'm wrong. Here's a kinda crappy pic of what it looks like...



    I sometimes think I overprotect her haha. I'm always making sure her aspen is soft enough and checking her over constantly for anything wrong. I think I'm in love with my one little pet and don't want anything to happen to her lol

    agree, my spider has several light brown spots that have developed over the months. I think it is just the wild type pattern shining through the spider pattern gene.
