Surface Molt Questions
Posted: Fri Feb 22, 2019 6:54 pm
I have a hermit crab that had began molting while I was asleep. I noticed he’d shed almost all of his skin in the morning about 4 days ago. My hermit crab is about a small/medium hermit crab.
How long would post-molt take? I’m trying to keep a journal for him, but also don’t wanna check on him every day so I won’t stress him out too much, but also try to record when he finishes and starts a new stage of the molt.
What could I do to try to ensure he has a safe molt? I’ve got the top half of a 2L bottle over him now, and a damp towel over the top for humidity. I’m assuming he didn’t have enough time to burry himself, since I have 6 inches of sand in the habitat.
