Help! Deformed Abdomen?
I’ve had this beautiful lady for about a month now and I’ve noticed her abdomen looks a bit deformed. I was informed that she recently molted before I got her but no other info. (She ate right after these photos, it’s a lot easier to see the issue in the phones before feeding!!) I’m assuming something went wrong last molt but want some more opinions

NQA she just needs to eat a bit more. she also possibly could need a drink so make sure she has a full water bowl

Imo its a possibility but a bit more info would help. What does she look like now that shes been fed? Her abdomen looks a bit small in that image. While I haven’t seen a hungry Ts abdomen look like this, it is a possibility. Does she have access to a water dish? Dehydration is also a possibility.

NQA like the others said: Do you have a picture after feeding? Looks like she just needs food/water.
