This is a picture of him eating a cricket, about two weeks post-molt. (This was after the first molt since I got him - but it's still in the same position today, 2 molts later. When he's resting, the twisted fang usually rests across the top of his pedipalp - but he can move the pedipalp out from under the fang to use it. I don't have more recent pictures because I haven't shoved a camera in his face in a while - he prefers to be left alone.)That's interesting, even after a molt the fang is still in the same position, it must have been some impact, I thought it would have corrected itself after a molt or two, it just goes to show how cautious you have to be with the fangs, a tarantula without its fangs is a dead tarantula I'm afraid, yours seems to be doing fine, fortunately, but think what could have been, thanks for posting it's extremely relevant.
