Anorith's tail was always fat, consistently, no matter what. The only time it shrunk was when he came up naked/soft and died. :?

Poor Anorith! We knew he was a molt gone wrong. He must have been trying so hard, too hard, to fix something in himself that we couldn't see. We will figure it out someday!

Really...huh I have never noticed mine not fat tailed honestly. Even after molt they are a lil thinner but still fat lol. Nice to know :). I feel bad for the over stuffed lil ones, poor crabbies. That is a long molt compared to mine. Idk mine always seen fast but they do seem to have many mini molts on occasion. It took Ms. Hearts a week to do a double molt which I was shocked to see her molt that fast let alone twice. She went down n after a few days came back up dark n her shell was hard but after a day of stuffing her face went back down n did it again. Must have worked for her tho cause man was she hyper after it lol.
