NEED INPUT! PIP of possible post-molter! WDYT?

Post by andreas4dogs » Wed Oct 27, 2010 8:17 am

I have not seen this crab in a couple of months. I just noticed him last night climbing on the screen top and I thought he was one of my other guys!

I know my little one I posted a few days ago might not have molted, but I am really encouraged by this guy! It hurts to have him walk on me. I think I got some good closeups. WDYT?

Look at those sharp toenails! I'd call that a molt! Congrats! :D
