Hey guys my suntiger seems to be excreting some kind of fluid from its mouth I was wondering if this is a bad thing or just getting rid of extra venom? He also isnt active or moving when I touch or squeeze his deli cup. He ate last night tho so i dont think anything is wrong? Here is a picture

I was reading that tarantulas will save water and drink it later, it could be this or a secretion after a meal to clean the chelicerae. I don't think its venom. Tarantulas get pretty lazy after a good meal so I wouldnt worry about it not moving around.

I was reading the same thing Mako its pretty interesting how they can collect water and save it for when they need it. I fed him last night so the secretion to clean himself might be it too he is also very lazy and not jumping around like when I first received him from the pet shop. I just checked on the droplet and it is now gone so he must of drank it. Ill keep you posted though. Thank you so much for the help and input appreciate it
