Just a ?

How is she able to eat anything if she lacks fangs? how does she secrete her digestive enzymes? Thx!

I cut up crickets for her. She uses her palps to hold them like she normally would. She ate 3 today.

You're a fellow Steelers fan huh?

The fangs secrete venom, not digestive enzymes. The mouth is where the digestive secretions come from. Tarantulas "drool" on their food. The fangs do grip and help masticate it, though. gecko_keeper's E. murinus was having trouble breaking through the exoskeleton of the crickets, but when gecko_keeper slices open the crickets, the E. murinus is able to get through the exo to digest the insides.
