I have a spiderling (~1") versicolor which molted out with what i am afraid will be a fatal problem. both of its fangs are bent. one faces out straight forward and has no curve at all to it. one curls under sideways and so much as to almost loop back on itself. it seems like the kind of problem which would self correct possibly during the next molt the only problem being that it is incapable of feeding with this problem so i am not sure i can get it to molt.
Anyone have this problem before and successfully remedy it?
I have been brainstorming on how to fix it and come up with ideas but none of them seem like they are possible.
1. force feed it somehow....yeah right.....no one has a magic trick for this right?
2. get it to molt again without feeding.....any way to encourage a molt in a starving spider?
3. get it to eat anyways.....any way to get a basically fangless spider to consume some calories itself?
anyone have any other ideas which i may not have thought of or have a magic solution on how to make any of the above work?
thanks
