First Jumbo Molt

Post by sugarselections » Wed Apr 06, 2011 9:35 pm

My jumbo purple pincher, Fiddle, just came up from his first molt with me yesterday. He was only buried for a little over two months and I was surprised he didn't stay down longer. Anyway, he looks great and is enjoying the pools and the squid I put in the food dish tonight.

Congratulations! :)

Are his eyes two different sizes, or is it just the photo? Cause he looks so cute!

Thanks, everyone! Fiddle is a total sweetheart so I'm super excited that he came through this molt so well.

It's just the picture. His eyes are actually the same size. He hasn't been cooperating with the camera since he resurfaced so I couldn't get a great shot of him.
