if you fed him to early after he molted, then that could be one of the issues. how long ago was the molt. also if the molt was "bad" and caused the fangs to be deformed then just figure out a way to make it easier for it to eat, im sure someone with more experience could help you with that. if the deformed fangs was a cause of the molt, then just wait until the next molt, the fangs should start to fix themselves, may take a couple of molts though.
yeah he should be able to bite into smashed crickets. try to tong feed him the smashed crickets though. give it a couple more molts and your T's fangs should be okay.
DId u feed it right after molting?? That is a big NO no, that is when dreaded evil Pedes eat Ts. I once believed pedes * & pepsis needed destroyed then realized, deforestation & housing kills way more Ts than any natural preditors.
its unfortunate you cant get pics..if he molted a week and half ago he should be hardened up by now..so its just one of those freak things that happen sometimes. the mushed crickets are really your only hope.. if the t is used to feeding from tongs then tong feed him if not just drop the mushed cricket onto the tips of his front legs.if hes not used to feeding off tongs it may make him refuse to feed and now isnt the time to try and teach him new tricks. good luck
Jacobospider5 said in post #5 that it molted a week and a half ago, from the day he attempted to feed it the small mealworm.
Yeah Guess I didnt notice post #5, I know pedes get huge and are very fast , venomous. Some get 9-"12 or so right? S gigantea and a few others. Myriapods sure are well armored though , scorpions are pretty impressive also.
It could just be your wording, but this right here is a bit concerning. You don't, of course, mean you were physically and forcibly picking up a teeny tiny sling directly after it molted right?
