I once read about a spider that had "buck fangs" and it ate just fine. This spider was always like that.Maybe yours will correct itself over time molting. As long as she's eating I wouldn't worry. If she can't eat you can always grind up her food and feed her that way. I once fed a spider (Brachypelma hamorii) with no fangs at all for a year waiting for her to molt new fangs. Being a chalcodes she may or may not eat for a long period of time. This may test your patience a bit. As long as she's drinking water I wouldn't worry too much about the food. Try feeding her ground up food once a week. I was feeding my hamorii with no fangs every two weeks once I got her to eat once. She then stayed pretty regular for me feeding then.</blockquote>
