How do you care for a tarantula who has lost her fangs? In this video I will show you how with a demonstration. I picked up Faizah, the Brachypelma hamorii at the NW Reptile Expo in Portland, Oregon on August 18, 2018. Little did I know--she has no fangs! Using the cupping method, which should only be used on new world or fangless tarantulas, I pick her up and feed her dubia soup, seven rounds of it, in fact! I hope you will watch this little girl progress toward her next molt when she will hopefully regenerate fangs and be a whole tarantula again.
