P. Regalis Broken fang...

[Willy94]

Hi there I have had a sub adult female P. Regalis for about two months now. I only realised today one of her fangs is broken in half. It doesn't affect her eating whatsoever but I am just wondering if it will grow back? She hasn't molted yet since I've had her. To be fair she could have had this since I got her but never noticed until today when she was on the wall of the enclosure.

To answer your question, it will mostly grow back its next molt. As long as it's eating then your specimen should be able to do well and recover in the process once it comes time to molt.

it may take a few molts but it will come back in full. My T Also lost a fang during breeding and she now has a fang and a half

I agree, there's nothing to worry about. I had a P. regalis lose a leg and she completely regenerated it in one molt

Yes

The fangs should grow back, dont be concerned as long as she is eating fine and there are bolas you should be fine.

Yes, I've had two big Lasiodora parahybana females break a fang, both pretty much fully regenerated the broken fang in one moult (in both cases the regenerated fang was only marginally smaller than the unbroken one).

When she flipped and I noticed the broken fang.


Good as new

Wow its crazy how they can do that! Looking at your first photo that's what my P. Regalis's fang looks lik even the same side. Its good to know it will regenerate though for sure. First time I have seen this in my brief time collecting so it was scary seeing it.
