Speedy molt!

Post by gotta-crab-em-all » Wed Dec 03, 2014 2:28 am

I forgot how fast little guys cant molt!

One of the smalls (Weedle) I brought home recently has already molted and only took ten days! :shock:

He hasn't gotten any bigger than I can tell, but he gained more purple and has a little less of an orange tinge. He's the cutest little thing! Its been so long since I've had anything smaller than a medium :D

Thankyou!! :D He was surprisingly cooperative. I don't handle my crabs except for photo sessions and gender checks, both to help with identifying who's who if something happened, like the recent issue with Anorith. So they're either ready to tear my arm off, or they're super shy and want to hide the entire time. Weedle and Shuckle are both the former :hlol: Their big claws are poised and ready the entire time. Weedle isn't as bad as Shuckle though, Shuckle thinks she's the most vicious thing ever created. Weedle thinks he's something special too. He's been pushing Clauncher around (nothing concerning, just mild dominance displays) ever since he molted and its funny to watch because poor Clauncher is twice his size! This little guy is a pistol. I'll be in for it when he gets bigger :lol: Maybe he's practicing for when Ralts comes back up to tell her off for being so unimpressed when he displayed at her when they got home ("Oh, I'm sorry, is that supposed to be intimidating? Here, I don't think I'm seeing properly..." *starts cleaning eyes*)
