Burying

Post by MeowzTheKat » Thu Jul 20, 2017 8:39 pm

So I haven't seen my little pp in a couple days and just now was fixing up their tank and I reached into the sand to fix it some and I brushed against his big claw. I didn't get a full look at him, I just saw a small bit of his claw and covered him back up. So I was wondering if he is just molting?

Was he near the surface? How near? Depending on his location, you might of been better in leaving him be and not burying him...

Okay that was a false alarm but I really did find him today. I was fixing things up again and I brushed against his shell in the sand but I am letting him be for now. He is only maybe two inches at most under the sand however so I'm not entirely sure if he is molting, he has been buried for about three or four days and I don't want to bug him in case he is molting.
