Our first adoptee's first successful molt

[Lutterback]

My kids and I were so excited when we got home tonight. It only took 2 months but "Dozer" is finally up from his first molt with us. I was beginning to wonder if our first crab in good conditions had made it. He was the crab we had gotten at a pet store that had not sold one in 3 months. He was on bark chips with only 2 wet sponges. He was in a painted shell but picked this one within hours of getting home. It is so so dark burgundy. Before he was really red. https://vimeo.com/130052807

4 more smaller crabs under there somewhere we got from Reptile City have been down for a month and a half.

Please pardon my daughter in the background. She was not happy with Daddy changing her.

Well Dozer must have been hungry after the molt. Last night, she ate (or at least spread in the sand) about a Tbsp of worm castings and some pretty big bites of the apple core I gave her. Tonight she is banging around the tank so loud, you would think she was going to crack the glass.
