Powah Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I can guarantee the first one was a molt the second one so far not entirely sure if he made it or not. I am not finding conclusive information online as to what "normal" behavior is for a hermit molt. Do they hop out the shell molt then go right back in the shell? Or do they go off and hide like the shrimp/crab did. I saw the nasarrius snails on top of a I hope molt this morning but not 100% sure I did notice the shell he was using is now empty. 1 Quote Link to comment

Hermits kick free of the molt while still in their shell. They will usually find a spot and not move much until they have finished. Quote Link to comment
rough eye Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 do you have more empty shells available for them? seems mine always molt overnight when they do. and i have one that changes shells (often back and forth between the same few) sometimes every day for a week. Quote Link to comment
Powah Posted June 12, 2021 Author Share Posted June 12, 2021 Yeah many empty shells all different sizes shapes types many he could of changed a shell it's hard to tell who is who anymore most of them are in very big astera shells now that when they "sit down" you can't see their legs. Almost all of them are different colors so I can tell who is who. White/red/scarlet/black n white/Halloween. Quote Link to comment
