Post Molt Question

Post by DarthCrabber » Sat Dec 17, 2016 6:28 pm

Hey guys! So one of my little crabs, Charlie, was rescued from the pet store missing the bottom pointy part of his legs from the joint down. He molted and everything grew back; he came up a few weeks ago. But I just noticed it looks strange where he regenerated his lost leg points. Is this normal looking? It just doesn't look the same color or as thick as the rest of his points. Thanks!

Normal. I takes several molts to be fully repaired.
