More color usually comes within the second or third molt. My E Kilimanjaro is just starting to get a blue tint and I've had him for almost a year and two molts. I think he will be much more blue by his next molt. :D

Congrats! [smilie=thumbsup.gif] First molts always feel like such an accomplishment. It means you're getting more experienced at being a crabber!

spitting image of my shickitello who is down making noise molting for his second round, you will find that smalls molt ALOT! he was up for about 2 weeks and went down again after just hardening! Silly Hermies
Currently No Hermit Crabs until I am out of college, but I have over 5 years of crabbing experience, and much advice to offer :)
