Hello all, not sure if this is the right place to put this but earlier today I found my tarantula stuck to the screen hood of her terrarium. With further investigation I realized one of her fangs was stuck and twisted in the screen good and it was almost completely off (part of the exoskeleton with the fang). I carefully unhooked her fang from the hood and she climbed down slowly.

My main question was will it all return through molting? She is due for one soon and I don't know what to think cause there was a lot of damage to her left fang.

Thank you
 
Hi, Talmadge.

Sorry to hear about your T's fang. :(

She should regenerate a new fang with her upcoming molt. However, if she is very close to molting, she may only have a partially-regened fang. If so, it should be fully regenerated after her following molt.

She will be able to feed. Observe her as she grabs a prey. If she seems to have trouble with it, offer her soft-bodied prey instead, such as waxworms. etc.

Good luck, and I hope she does well! :)
