    Fail Spider moment

    So while feeding tonight my spider female (around 300g) wobbled way more then usual and almost missed the f/t rat, but grabbed the end of the tongs. I just left her, the tongs,and the rat jumble alone figuring that she would realize that she missed her food sort of and drop it to actually grab the rat. She did, but her jaw was all funky and looked like the bottom was out and exposed while the top jaw on the one side was tucked on the inside. She didnt seem hurt, she alined her jaw herself and ate the rat..
    Butttt should i be worried about lost/broken teeth/any other issues..?
    I dont think in all my time on here I've seen many, if any posts about jaw issues/teeth problems so im not really sure what to even look for if there is an issue.

    Keep an eye on it from a distance initially, your watching out for swelling mainly.
