Hi everybody. I know that there's not really much to do about this, but I was pretty upset to see the other day that my sub-adult female Lasiodora klugi was weirdly "mouthing" a cricket, without the cricket become obviously punctured of mashed up. She eventually killed it, but spent a long time trying to eat it, and I scared her up the glass a bit to see her mouth after she dropped the food bolus some time later, and saw that both of her fangs were snapped off about halfway or more to the hilt. She's been super healthy and a great eater, and I am really worried about this. Recently she's been climbing to the ceiling, and she explores the screen top with her fangs; I think maybe she was doing that when she fell and they stayed in the screen. However, I couldn't find them and don't really know if it would make a difference if I did. She has no other signs of a fall, and still attacks crickets, its just that she can't really masticate. Has anybody else had this problem? Do you think that she can make it to the next molt? She is only about two months out of her last molt.
Anyway, thanks for any advice, commiseration, etc.
Best,
Mike
