Question about my crabby's eyes...

Post by The Terminatrix77 » Sat Jun 10, 2006 1:58 am

I just bought another hermie from the pet store today and her eyes are very cloudy, but she doesn't seem to be sick or getting ready to molt. She doesn't respond to shadows as drastically as my other crabs either. Could Artemis be blind?

Thanks! :)

It could be a molt then. Is the crab showing any other pre molt signs?

Cloudy eyes are a sign that she may be ready to molt, so I'd keep an eye out (no pun intended).
