Hermit Crab molt gone wrong??
I have a hermit crab that has been perfectly normal for the month I've had him. Yesterday morning he had molted, and since then he has been very, very strange. It looks almost like one half of him is pointing backwards. Like his left legs and claw are normal and the right side is on backwards. Terrible description, I know. And now he has become so distressed and uncomfortable (he can't really walk around with this new leg arrangement) that he has left his shell and is scrambling around naked.
This is totally bazarre. Ever heard of such a thing? Can a molt go that horribly wrong?
