Regenerated spinneret?

[Cory Loomis]

Three weeks ago, one of my L. parahybana s'lings had a problem moult and lost a spinneret. The s'ling is doing well now after a week-long period of listlessness. It's feeding and active. I know tarantulas regenerate legs. What about spinnerets?

 

[David_F]

It should regenerate. I had an L. parahybana lose one as well and after a molt or two it's back to normal.

Agreed. From my understanding T's can regenerate spinnetts just like they can limbs. And since this happened to a sling it should come back fairly soon!

Yes - she will regenerate. One of my slings also lost a spinneret. It regenerated after one moult.
