What's up with this position?

[alela]

My new E is currently in this position - "sitting" on her shell, appearantly cleaning her legs, or something similar



Is this normal? I just got her on Tuesday and have been keeping a close eye on her. She's been eating like crazy and has been acting extremely lethargic, so I fear she's going to pull a surface molt! She is sheltered under a coconut hut, but I moved it in order to take the picture.

That's a normal position. One of my big crabs likes to sleep like that. Cute crab btw C:

Oh thank heavens! Hermit crabs never fail to surprise me with their cute but crazy antics

I'm just curious Jay, how do you pronounce that name?? I love unique names that no one has ever heard before!

Hahaha thanks! Exactly how it's spelled really. U-U. When i got my rescues and started sexing/naming he took longest to figure out and was the hardest. So i kept calling him UnNamed-UnSexed. my boyfriend suggested Uu and he really dislikes the crabs so anything to make him a part of this lol

I've been pronouncing it wrong this whole time! I was doing more of a "oo" sound

[Paradi]

I like that! I always thought it was "oo" as well lol!
