Biggie molts

Post by Wai »

Does anyone know the average time it takes for a medium or big crab to harden up after a molt? My medium sized Jupiter has taken about three weeks...

She actually spends more time digging than hardening up! I'm like "Quit playing and harden up!"

I'm not sure, but my small ones took about that long, so maybe she will take longer.

And a question, since we are referring to size...

How big is Medium? and what qualifies as Jumbo? Cause I have a hermie that is in a shell with a 1 1/4 inch opening, and fits just right... and I was wondering if he is considered medium, large, jumbo? I know he isn't small, he is HUGE compaired with my other two...
