wet when moulting?

Post by Crabby Kortney »

Ausie was showing signs of moulting so of course i put her in the ico tank. I put a towel over the tank so it would be dark for her and every day i would take a peek at her. she had toys and a hermie hut so i thought she was fine. Yesterday when i changed he water she was out of the het and in the corner. I shouldn't have bet i picked her up to tell if she wasn't moulting after all. When i did alll of the goo-like transparent stuff dripped out. Was she in mid moult? i put her back in and put the towel back over.

Maybe she was moulting (if thats what that licquid was) outside of the hermie hut because with the towel on it was dark enough?

I'm sure the crab is fine, but do leave her alone from now on. The ISO is dark enough.
