Wow BKS, you must have caught your crab *right* after she shed her exo -- totally in the buff! I hope she's doing better and is ready to show off her new color soon :).

I think I've had so many problems with Rug because they molt right after I get them home from Petco :(. Rugs just seem really, really delicate.

:( Yeah, but because she's a Ruggie, I have no idea what possessed her to leave the shell. Unless she got spooked by someone. :? I'm just glad she's a bit livelier now...seemed touch & go there for a couple days. Today she was peeking out & appeared to have polished off all her exo except for her BP. She was just soooo dang limp...scared me half to death! :cry: Thanks so much for the well wishes. [smilie=hug.gif] She took forever to molt w/me...have had her a few months now. She also usually loves to hide & I don't see her all that often. :(
