HCA: Hermit Crab Association

My hermit crab is so weird thses days.
She's been living with me about 11years.
She even molts once a month. It's already been five months.
she's never done that before like this.
She did it every six months. I'm very worried about it
And there's a little spot on my hermit crab leg.
Is there something disease with her..?she's my family..what should I do.

Just to clarify a couple of things.
Is she under the substrate? And she has been for 5 months?

It's already been five months since she started doing it(molting) once a month. (Since.2020) And she's done it once every six months before that.(before 2020)
I’ve seen a drastic change in behavior/activity.
I'm sorry my english is not perfect. And I'm not sure what does "substrate" mean. If that means flooring, yes.

Substrate is the sand and/ or coco fiber that you have for them to dig in.
Is she digging under the sand and staying there for a while? Or is she molting where you can see her?

Yes she is digging under the coco fiber.I'm afraid she has to molt again.She came up on May 31st from coco fiber.

and I can see her if I look at the bottom of the tank,
I can lift the(glass) tank.

You really shouldn't lift the tank. You can collapse molting caves which would cause the hermit crab to suffocate.

Okay. I will.I'm just waiting for her now. .

If you'd like to fill this out we could see if there is anything that we could suggest: http://hermitcrabassociation.com/phpBB/ ... 27&t=46102
