This is normal. Paraya shed fangs once every month or so. They should be back in 3days to a week. Also if they do not line up properly the first time the cycle will continue.

+1 Armatus shed and replace teeth quite often as they grow. When I first got mine, he went through a set of fangs every 2-3 weeks. The bigger he grew, the less frequent the fangs were replaced by new ones. Mine also didnt like to feed when the old teeth were about to drop, but would eat the next day with the new tooth partially in place. I kept all the shed teeth in a shot glass by my tank too.

I no longer have my armatus but I have saved a good bit of fangs that it had dropped over the years.I have been looking for a nice container to keep them in and I like the shot glass idea.

Never seen it lose both at the same time, usually it's one or the other. Did yours lose the fangs from smashing the glass? Nose looks pretty beat up
 
I I31 It lose because of the seller he cut its teeth off before sell to me :(
 
Any updated pics on this guy? Curious about those cut teeth. That should have never been done.
