i just noticed that my 4'' armatus bent one of his fangs inward, its still attached, dont know how it happen however has this happen to anyone and if it has will it grow back if he looses it:(:(:(:(:(
 
100% true, the bent fang will fall out, you may or may not find it afterward, my Tat has a tendency to swallow them, Surprisingly, it has no affect on him at all.

When it's bent, that is a GREAT thing, because it means it will fall out soon, within a week or 2, and that means a bigger set is about to come in.:D

Let it takes it's coarse, no worries.
 
dont worry about it at all this happens with all the hydro's there fangs bend and fall of as they grow bigger and are replaced with bigger teeth.
 
yep

and what you are seeing could be the new one allready.

They come from a flat position in the mouth and rotate up into a vertical position like we usually see them.
 
Yeah like they all said. Everythijng is cool and working as intended. That is probably the new fang. Very very quick to pop back up.

One of my tats is missing a fang in the front but it sure doesnt stop him from eating because he is the greediest in the group.I've seen it happen in them before but it is interesting about the way that the teeth fold forward,almost like a poisonous snake.
 
Totally true! my schomb does this quite often actually. then the bottom tooth pops up like flip blade knife and its back in action in like a day and a half! its totally cool and they always come back way longer. when i first saw it though..... i was freaking out and i thought he rammed into a rock or something. its cool to watch because the new set will be bigger and better and you will be happy, trust me. my schomb has super long teeth and this is like the third time this has happened.
