Crablog

• David and Kermit were out for a bit.
• David went back to the shells and sure enough, he changed back into his old one again. That is one crazy, shell identity crisis, crab. So, I took that new one out for a few to flush it out thinking there might be something in there irritating him. I also took him out for a minute to check him out, he came right out to say hi. I was watching him and something looked different. I finally figured it out after a minute, he was hairy. Then I looked at his feet and sure enough they have black tips. Both SURE signs that he has molted recently. I also noticed that his legs have some orange markings on them I hadn't noticed before; of course, I really don't have a good idea yet of each of their markings since they've been hiding out since shortly after we brought them home. I don't know how long after a molt that they display the signs, but he's pretty hairy and new looking. They only thing I can't figure out is if s/he did it since they've been home or if he did it before that. Whatever the case, if he did it at home he did it fast because there may have only been about 4 days I didn't see him. Vicki said that the little ones CAN do a molt that fast. I can't wait to see how the other ones look when they come up from their molts.
