Two legs in one molt?!
Posted: Mon Feb 21, 2011 3:23 am
At the end of November one of my little guys, Hades, went naked and dropped two legs after a fight with another crab. It took a little over a week to get him to the point he could return to the main tank, and he promptly buried himself when he went back.
From that point on Hades had remained buried without surfacing (as far as I could tell). However, last night I caught him up, sneaking around the tank and stealing as much food from the bowl as he could manage. Though, I was terribly surprised to see BOTH missing legs back and helping the little guy toddle all over the tank.
I'm just curious if anyone else has had a crab regrow so much in one molt? Or maybe he pulled two molts in a row? I'm really not sure, not that I have any complaints
