Are These Egg Sacs???

Post by soilentgringa » Sun Dec 07, 2014 2:53 am

So tonight we had a shell swap party going on. All the newbies were checking out fresh homes and Drax, who just came up from a molt, was looking for a change as well.
I noticed large orange blobbies on the sides by the very back legs.
Here is video of Drax during the switch.
Okay tapatalk isn't uploading the video so here's a screen shot.

Never mind they're just some really orange molt sacs I guess.

Yep, definitely appears to be molt sacs.

Egg sacs look like this:

I have to stop automatically posting late at night in panic mode lol. All the molt sacs I'd seen were blackish grey and these were orange and he just came up from a molt. I knew eggs were orange but was unsure.
