Okay so my girl crab Hermy, who i have had since December 25, 2010 & has been in the same shell, may be moulting but I'm not sure. She dug down yesterday, but i thought it was because there wasn't a heater or anything, but now there is and i'm gonna spray in there with the mister i just got. but she's been moving underground? where she is now, i have to go under the desk to take a look and since i have a glass desk my reflection in the glass makes it hard to see her. I'll try to get a picture. but is she moulting or what?! Help!
UPDATE: 8.21.11
she is still down there, but i can keep track of her by laying under the desk and looking up. She is always somewhere new under neath. So i know shes alive because she keeps moving around.
Might have a first time moulter? Help! [UPDATE 8.21.11]

It is hard to say, but as long as you can see that she is alive, don't worry too much.

Were able to get any of the criteria that was posted on another forum that your hermies need? (you mentioned you were going to go shopping and never replied back to your post)
Have you put anything in for them to seek shelter in?
