Tarantula Impaction

:exclamation: Help!

Hello! This is my first post here, I'm an anxious Tarantula keeper and I noticed it looked like there was maybe?? a blockage at my brachypelma auratum's spinnerets.

It's hard to tell because she likes to hide in her burrow and she's not very large yet. I'm a relatively new T keeper and I'm not sure if that's just what it's supposed to look like, or if theres something wrong with her.

I think she was slightly dehydrated because I needed to replace her old water dish and I didn't have a spare on hand.

I'm very worried about her, but I also might just be anxious
